    Sounds like you have a very old version of whatever MPL program you are trying to run, possibly something that is more than 10+ years old. There may be a newer version of it somewhere.

    In this case you'd just want to remove the "Uses Dir" line entirely, but I suspect you're going to see more errors after that given that this may be from an early 1990s iteration of the MPL language.

    I'll take a look. Thanks.
