I compiled a directory lister with Mark Johnson C, version 2.0. 
It works just fine, but at the end of the directory, it prints out a 
message on the console: "(no more files)".

This message is nowhere to be found in my program or in the MJC library.
So I figure that either it is coming from GEMdos, or I have a friendly ghost.
I want it to go away.

One of the local programmers (John Osawa, author of the Schizo desk
accessory) tried my code with Mark Williams C and got no such message.
He suggested that MJC's startup code may throw a switch, and mentioned
something about Perror. I thumbed through "Atari ST Application 
Programming" (Pollack and Weber), but found no references to Perror.
It's not in osbind.h. I found nothing like it in the MJC startup routines,
either.

So: What is Perror? How do I shut off this message?
