Thanks for the info. This was the problem, though it did indeed work
when I used "head.c" and crashed when I changed it back to "head.h".
Strange.

What threw me off was the fact that I never had the problem until I went 
to WB 1.2 with Manx 3.20a. Then I changed to Manx Beta 3.30c, and the 
problem was still there, though slightly changed (I got a "Software Error,
Task Held" requester on 3.20a, but the machine just froze up under 3.30c.
Characters would still echo, but had no effect). I felt that somehow 1.2 was 
causing it.

Now I've been warned. I'll not take makefiles at face value any more.
