   answer is "neither," then you can't do it very easily.  But as
   to the libraries, here's what Dave Shea has to say:

[quote]

   Two [methods of forming TSRs] I have been informed of are
   TSRV21.ZIP and PDQ.

   TSRV21.ZIP can be picked up from:
   http://www.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/msdos/qbasic

   Apparently, this program works, but not very well.  You can't
   deactivate the TSR once loaded, it takes up a lot of memory, you
   can't call it from the command line, and you can't run a
   compiled QB program when the TSR is loaded.  And they can't be
   unloaded.

   A better option might be PDQ by Crescent Software.
   Unfortunately, the Crescent Division has shifted strictly to
   Visual Basic.  However, Ethan Winer has started up a new
   Software company to continue support of his DOS based libraries,
   etc.  It's unclear exactly WHO holds the rights to PDQ, so
   here's information on both companies.

   FULL MOON SOFTWARE
   34 Cedar Vale Drive
   New Milford                     Tel 860-350-8188
   CT 06776                        Fax 860-350-6130
   CRESCENT, division of Progress Software Corporation
   11 Bailey Avenue
   Ridgefield                      Tel 203-438-5300
   CT 06877                        Fax 203-431-4626
   Compuserve 70662,2605

   The latest version of PDQ is 3.12, and you should expect to pay
   somewhere in the range of $150 for it.

   Another option is a program called TSRBasic.  Harry Hickey says
   that it's just an interpreter, not a true compiler.  In other
   words, your programs will just run in the environment of
   TSRBasic.  Matt Roberts adds, though, that it *will* create
   executable programs, although "the whole blessed interpreter"
   will be included with your source code.  In other words, a
   very simple program will be a relatively large executable
   program.  Matt also says that TSRBasic is very slow with
   graphics, and that, to his knowledge, the author is not
   available to be contacted.
   If you're interested, Mike Meyer says that you can find it
   by searching the Web at http://www.shareware.com for TSRBasic.

14) HOW CAN I MAKE QB EXIT WITH AN ERROR LEVEL?

   A FAQ by Mike Audleman says the following (modified for format):

[quote]

   Add the following declare statement at the beginning of your
   program:

   DECLARE SUB ExitWithErrorLvl ALIAS "_exit" (BYVAL ERRORLEVEL%)

   Then to exit with an error level contained in a variable:

   ExitWithErrorLvl Oops%

[end quote]

   Using this method from within the Quick Basic environment will
   cause QB to exit to DOS *immediately* -- you'll lose your code
   if you haven't saved it to disk.

   Pat Pridgen says that if you're using PDS, you can just enter
   this statement (n% is the error level to exit with):

   END n%
