Can anyone tell me if there is way to determine how may files are opened; i have set max_files to 512; am using an new menu program and am getting a 94,10 error message saying too may files are opened.  I want to display number of open files each time i do a exit program so i can determine what program(s) is causing problem. Thanks.

there is a program named handles.exe  ... https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896655.aspx from sysinternals that can show the list of files that a process has open. I suggest getting this, and using it to determine what the runtime has open.
