Supertool2 Subroutine

Why?  Suprtool2 is great for calling Suprtool from 3GL programs, as it does
all the CREATEPROCESS stuff for you. But Quick also handles subprocesses on
your behalf, so I'd suggest its much easier to direct your commands to a
temporary file, then:
  run command "run suprtool.pub.robelle;parm=4;info='use myfile'"

Let me know if you need a sample of how to do this ....
(I've been meaning to log a documentation enhancement request for ages, to
remove the Quick example from the Suprtool2 manual :-)

In what way have you been less than successful? Send me some particulars,
and I'll be happy to help where I can ....
