Run JB Program from withing JB

[tanger32au]

Is it possible to run a JB program from with JB itself? I have a small program I want to run from within JB.

Not BAS program itself, but compiled to TKN.
Read HELP on RUN.

I turn an editor (Notepad) into a calculator tape using JB's RUN command and JB interpreter:



'create file on desktop
file$ = "C:\Users\marka\Desktop\data.txt"

'open notepad and write a bunch of numbers to add, one per line
' if file is not started will get messagebox to start it, click yes
run "notepad ";file$

'wait to finish edit and save data.txt in Notepad
input "Press enter when ready to total data.txt file."; wait$

'now open the file and add up the numbers
open file$ for input as #1
while eof(#1) = 0
   input #1, dat$
   total = total + val(dat$)
wend
close #1
print "The total of data.txt is ";total





You can also use CommandLine$ to issue commands to your JB program while RUNning from JB or from normal Window.
