EXEC_W

Syntax: EXEC program      
    or: EXEC file *[,{filex | #chx}]* [;cmd$] (Toolkit II,
                                               THOR XVI)
    or: EXEC file *[,#chx]* [;cmd$] (Minerva v1.93+)
   and: EXEC_W program
    or: EXEC_W file *[,{filex | #chx}]* [;cmd$] (Toolkit II,
                                                 THOR XVI)
    or: EXEC_W file *[,#chx]* [;cmd$]  (Minerva v1.93+)

Location: QL ROM, Toolkit II

These commands load and start a machine code or compiled program.

EXEC then returns control to the calling job so that both jobs are multitasking.

EXEC_W waits for the job to finish before returning control.

Minerva v1.97+ has now implemented a sub-set of the Toolkit II standard as above.


CROSS-REFERENCE:
With Toolkit II installed or on a THOR XVI, EXEC and EXEC_W are the same as EX and EW.
See also EW, TTEX and ET.
If you are using the Hotkey System or SMS then see EXEP in this manual.
