[Wien] x lstart error when using existing structure file

Hi,

Before running "x lstart" another command "instgen" is a must. It will
generate case.inst file. The alternative is opening the struct file from
structure editor of w2web and saving it, this will also generate the
case.inst file and there is no need for separate instgen command.
