Running QBASIC programs via batch

If I need to execute a QBasic program from a DOS batch script:
QBASIC /RUN MYPROG.BAS
but after executing it waits for you to press a key ... and starts the editor. Any way to bypass that and close qbasic after the program has run?

No, but you can compile it to an EXE, much easier. You'll need 4.5 or 7.1 (it's on my FTP if you want it)

edit the .BAS program and at the part where the program terminates, add the line:

SYSTEM

That'll only go to a DOS prompt and as soon as you type EXIT you'll go back to QBASIC.

Thanks, System seemed to work fine for me when i tried it, but i'll have to use exit now to be sure.

And about the compiler, thanks (!) but I really don't use BASIC - it came in handy this time :)
