One way I've done similar is to create an object that attaches to _SCREEN,
and in that object.Destroy, I set the _SHELL system variable to "DO
mystartup.prg". Any thing in _SHELL is immediately executed, and then is
cleared.
So, anything that causes the object in _SCREEN to go away (CLEAR ALL)
restarts things again.
* mystartup.prg
? "Started"
*
* Whatever you need to do goes here...
*
_SCREEN.AddObject("wsx","mystart") && attach the object to _SCREEN
DEFINE CLASS mystart AS Custom
FUNCTION Destroy
_SHELL = "DO mystartup.prg"
ENDFUNC
ENDDEFINE
Hope that's clear enough for you to see how to do it.
