Quoting Michael Quinlan to All:
MQ> Hello All!
MQ> I'm looking for a version of the EXECUTE function that doesn't load 
another

MQ> I've seen a few replacements for the EXECUTE function, but none that do 
thi s.
MQ> Has anyone seen such a thing?
When the EXECUTE statement is called from a compiled PB .EXE, COMMAND.COM is 
not loaded unless you are calling a batch file, Michael.  All of the memory 
required by the calling program is deallocated.
