The lines of the exclude file should not include "/X" or the  signs. (The fact that the entry is in the exclude file is enough hint that it's an exclude spec, so the /X isn't needed. The  in the docn were there to indicate that you replace what's between them with something of your own, and should not be in the command [or exclude file].) I think you just want

c:\*\*.SWP
c:\*\*.TMP
c:\*\NPROTECT.LOG

and so on. Good luck...
