Runs the current program or a specified program.
RUN [{linenumber | file$}]
■ linenumber The line number in the current program where execution
should begin. If no line number is specified, execution
begins at the first executable line.
■ file$ The name of a Basic source file. QBasic assumes
a .BAS extension.
■ RUN closes all files and clears program memory before loading a
program. Use the CHAIN statement to run a program without closing
open files.

RUN "C:\DOS\TEST.BAS"
