>> When using, QUIT TO my_file_spec.cmd is executed, it must surely (re-)open the file, "my_file_spec.cmd" and begin execution at the FIRST executable statement, as opposed to using RETURN, which would begin at the NEXT executable statement. Is this true? << Yes, it is correct. I do use QUIT TO every time I run a new program and I don't need to the next statement in the calling program. Good for chaining program to a menu. In the opposite case (remember what was called SUBROUTINE in traditionnal languages ?), you must use RUN. Also keep in mind that there are limitations with QUIT TO a codelocked file .... J.M.
