I don't know how you do that on a Proline system... with the 'rn'
newsreader, you just type "F" and it will post a followup article and
include the old article with ">"s in front...

It's not the same!!! I believe the orignal poster was asking about the
ability to launch another program with the quit call, not the menu
thingy that's always there in P8 1.9 (if you have 80cols and 128K).
You need to have booted GS/OS first, then when you launch a P8
application, the P8 application can quit to another program. I remember
that you put an "$EE" byte somewhere in the parm list form the quit
call.

So... the menu quit call always works, but the extended quit call
doesn't work unless you boot GS/OS first. There is a difference :-)
