I have a suggestion for those who want to use the QUIT TO syntax with
codelocked files and do not want the overhead of all those extra APX's.
After all, one of the advantages of codelocking is that the number of files
to distribute is small, usually just 1.
create a file: QUITTOME.CMD containing the following:
RUN &vRunFile
RETURN
Use Codelock to make this into an APX say QUITTOME.APX
In your app you can put the command block to execute in the vRunFile
variable and quit to the QUITTOME.APX
SET VAR vRunFile = 'WHATEVER IN WHICHEVER.APX'
QUIT TO QUITTOME.APX
This method will allow you to use the cleanup advantages of QUIT TO while
keeping your file count low. You only have the everhead of one run level to
give you this desirable result.
I have not tested this method, so those of you who wish this functionality
will have to experiment with it. Would be interested in knowing the
results. If it works out well I will probably add support for this to
RClass, even including the QUITTOME.APX nicely precodelocked in the correct
mode. So theme RClass would be able to rewrite your QUIT TO FILENAME calls
so they use this method.
What say all you RClass users? Do you need this functionality?

I just tested that theory and it had no effect.
QUIT TO b IN f
didn't work whereas
RUN b IN f
did.
--------------------------------------
In a separate issue an attempted QUIT TO a codelocked command file resulted
in a string of bad command error messages. I then used RUN and the file
executed perfectly. Tried QUIT TO immediately after that and the same file
executed okay. Restarted RBase and the problem disappeared. This was in
RBW 6.5++.
