Damian,
<I would like to know if the launch command (in RBase 6.5 ++)
does the same or if it runs the external program and still lets you work
in RBase at the same time?>
Yes! It allows you to work in Rbase!
Name: LAUNCH Shortest: LAUN
Family: Command Category: Programming (Windows Only)
Description: To invoke/run any associated files along with required programs
Syntax
LAUNCH FileName.EXT
About the LAUNCH Command
Among the many new commands, a LAUNCH filename.ext command has been
introduced in R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) to invoke/run any associated files
along with required programs.
At the R> prompt or in a command file:
See www.rsyntax.com for Examples
* NO NEED TO ZIP OUT or running batch files, etc.
* NO flashing screens (in and out of DOS).
* LAUNCH command is also supported in EEPs.
The new LAUNCH command in R:BASE 2000 (version 6.5++) will execute ANY
windows program as long as it is installed and the file extension is
associated in the registry.
Best regards,
Oma
