I've set the base note hidden because posting a 12,000 line entry is not
a very friendly thing to do.

However, I have also solved your problem, so there's little need to keep 
the file around and I might just delete it if that's true.

The errant use of 'thick' comes from a line wrap that (presumably) some
mailer or file transfer program inserted.
There are commented argument descriptors in the file that say things like

/ffrhc  % args on stack:  color width length style shape range height thick

The line wrap was inserted between 'height' and 'thick', taking 'thick'
out of the comment and exposing it to interpretation.

The fix is to get a fresh version of the file.
(you could edit it, but there may be other errors of the same type
that are being masked by this error.)

    Tom is correct. There are multiple places where extra
    line wraps have been added to the file. It looks as
    though the file where read into a text editor which
    added line wraps after 72 characters. Perhaps this
    file was E-mailed and the mail program wrapped the
    file.

    thanks for the comment.
    
    
    the file was sent via e-mail , I will get user send on tape to prevent
    the wrapping problem.
