Running quick from within quiz

Thanks for those who replied to my problem, especially Mike Armstrong and
Robert Edis.

For those interested:

A solution that worked was to run a DCL script from the menu screen, the
script ran quiz which used the .qku file:

	Command "@rg_quiz:list_cnc_rounds.com" &
        LABEL "CNC Rounds List" clear all 

The .com file looks like this

       $quiz
	use rg_quiz:list_cnc_rounds.qzu
       exit

The rest remained the same.

PS I did not want to use permanent subfiles due to locking problems, locks
were not released until the user when back up several levels. 
   Also the data could change on a regular basis so the file had to be
re-created each time the program ran which caused further problems with
permanent subfiles, multiple users and locking.
