subject: Power Basic problem

While trying to outmaneuver Dave Wakefield's twit filter, Dave Navarro 
radioed:
DW>        Is there any reason I shouldn't be able to shell to an
DW>        executable program from a tsr programmed in Power Basic?
 DN> PowerBASIC does not support the SHELL statement in a TSR.  In order
 DN> for SHELL to work without using undocumented DOS calls (which we do
 DN> not do), we would have to track every executable which is ever run
Which calls? Some of the so called undocumented calls have been used so 
often by such a great number of programs that it is highly unlikely 
they'll ever be changed.
