The original channel is not "really" closed - It's channel ID in the SuperBASIC channel table is simply overwritten. The TK2 Manual makes also interesting reading regarding the "Special Jobs" paragraph that have a second $4afb in their header that is actually used to flag to the OS that this job got its own command line parsing routine that will be called within a SuperBASIC context - That is, you can apparently use Basic variables in command lines.
