Looking at Jonathan Hudson's code, I can see that it can be passed a
command string (cmd$) and up to 4 channel ids. Of the channels, one
relates to a program to load (but is this necessary and how can the
thing
tell when no program is meant to be passed?).
The manual says:
On being invoked, SBASIC expects to find some channel IDs on the
stack (standard QDOS conventions).
SBASIC will normally treat the first ID as the SBASIC program source
file, the next ID as channel #0, the next ID as #1 and so on. The
string defines the initial value of the CMD$ variable within the
SBASIC program.
I have not been able to start a program in this way using EXEP. So I
wrote the keyword EXEG which does work. This is available by using the
address:

and going via downloads to the sqlug site.
This contains an example.
