; This version allows one BASIC program to call another
;
; CALL EXECSUB(PROG$,PARM$,FCB1$,FCB2$,RETCD%)
; PROG$ is the program name (e.g. 'command.com')
; PARM$ is the parameter to be passed to the program (e.g. '/c dir *.bas')
; FCB1$ is the first file control block (required by some programs)
; FCB2$ is the second file control block (required by some programs)
; RETCD% is the error return code
