Thanks for your advice.
My apologies for not providing enough information - I realized after I sent the message that I should have mentioned what OS, etc. I was running.
I'm running Win 2000, and using sysutils, and dos - could that be the problem?
The target os (as given to my by DevPascal 1.9.2) is Win32 for i386.
However, I downloaded the 1.9.2 w32 version of FreePascal, and the program compiled fine, and hasn't given me any errors since (no odd DosError values). Thanks for your suggestion on resolving the use of goto. I'll implement that soon.
One question: In the future, should I just host my code on geocities (or something) and then include a link to it instead?

We'd probably need little bit more information from you. First of all, your code snippet isn't directly compilable as it is now - it isn't even completely clear which FindFirst function is being used (my guess is that one from SysUtils because of the TSearchRec type used, but on the other hand you're using DosError as well, which is relevant to FindFirst from unit Dos). Second, it would be definitely useful to know the target you're compiling for (GO32v2?, ???) and the operating system you're running on.
Regarding your code - well, I'd definitely suggest to use something like while..do or repeat..until instead of your use of goto construct.
Best regards
