I have pretty extensive GED/WED experience. GUI programs behave just the same as a regular program or as a subroutine. You can use the @COMMAND if you wish to pass paramaters to a RUN program or you can create the entire GED item as a called subroutine.
WHat Glen means by bail-outs are that the ATGUISHUTDOWN command must be executed and at the end of the GUI session. You can have a green screen RUN or CALL a GED/WED item and the SHUTDOWN will close the new window when done. If you are calling one GUI sub from another GUI program, the sub needs to know that you are NOT going to SHUTDOWN in the sub, just handle as an ACTIVATE or ENABLE/DISABLE. (Actual code escapes me at this time.) The real trick of GED/WED programming is understanding how Accuterm uses the PC as the form(s) handler and maintaining all of the environment variables properly GUISTATE, GUIERRORS and GUIEVT.
