Gerald:

That's because M_FILE_PAGE_SETUP is a variable holding a constant value 
from the menu.def file, that isn't loaded/compiled with your workspace. If 
you try ...

 Run Menu Command 111

... it will work.

It is possible to run some limited commands in a workspace.  (I still use MI 4.1.2)  
For
example, I have a few workspaces where I have a message pop up at the end of loading
the .wor.  To tell the users what the line colours mean, I have this line at the end 
of the
workspace:

Note "Note" + chr$(10) + "Red Lines are Waste Water Sewers"

I just tried to run a menu command in a .wor, but it didn't work.  I tried:

Run Menu Command M_FILE_PAGE_SETUP

to invoke the page setup dialog box.  When I ran the workspace, I got a message that
M_FILE_PAGE_SETUP is an invalid sub procedure.  I guess MI doesn't like subs
outside of MapBasic.

Anyway, has anyone else tried to run commands in a workspace?  Which ones have
worked?

Well, it really depends on what version of MapInfo Pro you are using. Only 
recently did MapInfo add printer settings to what is saved in the 
workspace, and only in the latest patch did many of the problems get resolved.

If you are using a version before v5, there are no means to store your 
printer selections with the workspace.
