SUMMARY
The following message displays when a compiled Basic program is terminated with a STOP statement:
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50 for MS-DOS and to Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00, 6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 and to Microsoft Basic PDS 7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
To suppress this message and return directly to the system without having to press a key, use the END statement instead of the STOP statement. You can have multiple END and STOP statements in your program.
Eliminating the need to press a key may be useful when running Basic programs from within MS-DOS batch files or from MS-DOS itself.
