(as a very short intro:
strace -o <my/trace/file/name> yabasic

[exit]

Holler here if you need help with strace. It's a handy tool
in any hacker's toolbox.
Didn't know of strace. Just glanced at manpage. On my way out - pursue
this afternoon.
MIXED results.
In the yabasic mode I was using {enter basic program and hit Enter twice
to execute}, strace and yabasic do not "play well together". The basic
program is never executed.
However if you do:
> strace -o mytrace yabasic test.bas
it executes, but doesn't apparently doesn't give any explanation ow why
the two files cannot be opened.
*HOWEVER* perhaps my system and strace do not "play well together".
A tutorial I found gave as a first example: > strace -o mytrace
yabasic ls
That gave 10 {apparently spurious} file errors before running "ls" normally.
I then tried some brute force trouble shooting and discovered that the
problem was specifying a complete path to target files. I moved them to
my home directory and all worked fine.
Now to solve logic flaws in my code ;/
Thank you.
