CHAIN                    Transfer to Another Program

 CHAIN filespec

    Transfers control to another program.

    filespec    A string expression that follows DOS file naming
                conventions. If no extension is supplied, .TBC is assumed.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:    The calling program must be an .EXE file; you cannot CHAIN
                from within Turbo Basic. The CHAINed-to program may be
                either an .EXE or a .TBC file.

                Variables declared COMMON in both the calling program and
                the chained-to program may be shared. The arguments to the
                COMMON statements must match in type; otherwise, a runtime
                error occurs.

                Turbo Basic does not support the ALL, MERGE, DELETE, and
                line options of the interpreted BASIC CHAIN statement.
