Alastair -
I have a circle of QUITs to the same routine.
This particular method was suggested by some of Razzak's
code that I ran across a while back. It certainly did
the trick after normal looping crashed RBase.
If the QUITs need to be to different routines
Frank could QUIT to a dummy routine which QUITs back to
his MAIN.APP. Now why didn't I think of that sooner?
