Jamal,

As usual you have been able to do magic. ;-))

Yes, it is fixed and I now get an empty unnamed session instead of the errors.

Thanks.

I confirmed the problem and have hopefully fixed it in a new February 28
release I just posted.  I had been testing with EdSharp already open,
and invalid file names are ignored then.  The first time EdSharp is
launched with an invalid file name, however, the problem did occur.  Let
me know if you continue to encounter problems with command-line
operation with the new release (F11 to update).

Well, if I go to the folder where EdSharp is installed and enter edsharp.exe
followed by a nonexistant filename.txt I get the errors.

I am going to check to see if EdSharp is in my path or not. If not I'll add
it and see if that helps.
