[Dxbase] Running programs from within DXbase

[Joe Glockner]

All of the exe program files that I have made are
what we call "standalone" programs ..

BUT - I  "do run"  all of them from within DXbase.. This
is strictly my personal preference.

The only requirements that you have to make sure
that you do are:

(1) Always close-out/exit the Programs/Customize 
"Program" first (such as, if you are running AXETTY)
- then close-out DXbase.

(2) Always fill-in  BOTH  the

Command:

-- and the --

Initial Directory:

when you make the Programs/Customize/Add
entry(ies).  BOTH of these are necessary so that
the exe program file -- and -- ALL of it's 
ini and dat files can be found.

An example of the #(2) above is at:

The above is ONLY an example of how I have my
AXETTY setup in Programs/Customize -- your PATHING
"will" probably be very different.

Beyond the above, you can run the programs that I
make from within DXbase..
