We all have our opinions, don't we? The quit to makes sure that all nesting levels are closed, so you are exiting from level 0. This is a fairly recent innovation on my part because I had a need.

I have found that if you do not do this, MS seems to hold onto the last file run as if it was still open.

I occasionally have had a startup app hang when it has an EXIT command in it. I found that you have to have RETURN immediately after the EXIT. Fixes my problem every time! Karen Glad to be of help... You raise an interesting point about the RETURN - the help makes no mention of the need for one to follow the SKIP _but_ there is a certain logic to it depending on what else the EEP of the calling object might to and what the landing object will then do. Anybody else any thoughts? Regards, Alastair. ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message.
