Can You?

Ok if I made code that has a menu in one basic4GL code file link it to say the newgame code in another Basic4GL code file.

I hope this is a good enough example. I believe you can do this in C++ and I hope you can do this in Basic4GL.

Thanks for you help

ok more of what I mean is say menu.gb if there is a button in menu.gb called new game and you click on it it then runs code from newgame.gb does that work in basic4GL or not. The names I came up with are just for example

[DJLinux]

if MenuButtonRunGame then
  Program=CompileFile("game2.gb")
  Execute(Program)
end if

and you can run any *.exe with the funky ToolBox Plugin ;D

see Run() and Execute()

Ok thanks that helped me heaps

actually i recommend using "comp" and "exec" because run and execute are outdated and you should avoid using them if you can

Is there something wrong with outdated stuff?

It is advised by Tom Mulgrew that you should use the new commands instead of using the old one. The only reason why Tom has kept the old commands for compatibility sake.
