Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Execute function executes PWB functions and macros by name. It
     allows you to execute commands that are not assigned to a key or
     execute a sequence of commands in one step.
 
     The Execute function executes the commands by the same rules as
     macros. Function prompts are suppressed, and you can use the macro
     flow-control and macro prompt directives. You do not need to
     define a macro to use these features.
 
     Arg Execute («arg» «execute»)
          Executes the text from the cursor to the end of the line as a
          PWB macro.
 
     Arg <linearg> │ <textarg> Execute
     («arg» <linearg> │ <textarg> «execute»)
          Executes the specified text as a PWB macro.
 
     Returns
 
     True:  Last executed function returned true.
     False: Last executed function returned false.
