    name [argument[()]] [, argument[()]]...
 
    ■ name         Name of non-Basic procedure to call
 
    ■ BYVAL        Passes argument by value rather than by reference;
                   cannot be used if argument is an array
 
    ■ SEG          Passes argument as a segmented (far) address; cannot be
                   used if argument is an array
 
    ■ argument     Variable, array, or expression passed to a procedure
                   (whole array arguments cannot be passed by CALLS);
