The form queue number n is the order in which the form queues were created. So, starting from an empty slate (i.e. no spooler):
SP-NEWTAB -> creates Form Queue 'STANDARD' which is form queue 0 (zero) SP-CREATE MERCURY . . . -> creates form queue 1 SP-CREATE VENUS . . . -> creates form queue 2 SP-CREATE EARTH . . . -> creates form queue 3 Each subsequent SP-CREATE (or option 1 on the SP-STATUS menu) creates the next logical form queue number. These 3 statements are therefore equivalent: SP-ASSIGN =VENUS SP-ASSIGN F2 SP-ASSIGN Q2 SP-STATUS displays the form queues in Q-number sequence, starting with 'zero'. If you delete a form queue, the other queue numbers remain the same, the 'hole' is not filled in any way. The only way to change the order is to create the form queues in a different order. If you already have an existing spooler and you are on the latest jBASE release (5.7.0), you can use the 'sp-fqscript' command to create a script from the current spooler that can be used to regenerate the form queue definitions after running SP-NEWTAB. You then can edit this script and rearrange the order in which the queues are created. If you are not on the latest release then I suggest you create the script manually. If you ever have to refresh the spooler, this script will be a life-saver.
