how to run programs from a menu that you created in qbasic

[beyondsociety]

Hi,

I am creating a program that has a menu and I want it to load certain games when I press a number. I've tried to find out how to do this, but for some reason I can't find anything. Can anybody help me with this.

check out SHELL and RUN.

or chain ? Don't know if it is available on what you are using. Ed Fair

Which Basic are you using?

 

[qbasicking]

The title of the post says that he is using qbasic. So SHELL "run *.*", RUN *.*, or even CHAIN *.* will work, good job edfair, I completely forgot about CHAIN

I just wanted to be sure, 'cos this query's not in the Qbasic forum.

If you need to share variables or transfer any data then you need to use chain. Shell will simply load the file and run it. dl_harmon@yahoo.com
