User-defined Programs The User-defined program option on the Toplevel menu allows you to drop out of
the BASIC Development Software to execute other programs on your personal
computer. User-defined programs may be your word processing program, a file or
disk management program, or a spreadsheet.
User-defined programs appear on a User menu, just like the project files discussed
in the previous section. However, this is an entirely different User menu and the
programs on it are generally independent programs, executable at the DOS level of
your personal computer.
