Well, the TVL DL is working, but there is still a problem with the Filter
command.  From UPD.TXT, we were told:

*   30) The FILTER commands in TVL.BAT should be modified as follows
 (per enhancements to FILTER.EXE):
 -------------
 OLD:
  rem Delete unwanted channels:
  FILTER @%1.CHN TVLNEW.TXT 0 29
 NEW:
  rem Delete unwanted channels:
  FILTER @%1.CHN TVLNEW.TXT -flcol0:29
 -------------
 OLD:
  rem Delete unwanted shows:
  IF EXIST TVLDEL.TXT FILTER @TVLDEL.TXT TVLNEW.TXT 0 0 1 -
 NEW:
  rem Delete unwanted shows:
  IF EXIST TVLDEL.TXT FILTER @TVLDEL.TXT TVLNEW.TXT -txtend -dontcare:-

So, I did as instructed, and during the whole TVL DL Event, after all the
WPDLs are done, Filter gives an error message:

(Win err#2:The system cannot find the file specified)
(FL_FL:FILTERXX.TMP -> -flcol0:29)

When it's all done, the TV-Guide still shows all the unwanted channels, and
the unwanted shows.  I'm assuming there is a similar error message from the
second FILTER command, but it flashes by too quickly.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
