The - sign does not belong.  No flags are lost just restart and the FC
table will be there with all the current flags.

12314.  April 12, 2007     EDITR, EDITA, SNEDT             Eric
        Changed QEDIUTIL to test the error return from reading
        user-provided numbers more carefully.  The IERR = -n would
        fall through to a place that treated all non zwero errors as
        fatal.   Added error messages and resetting of IERR to 0 when
        the user enters numbers badly (or out of range).
        Moved nowhere.
