Subj: call absolute()                Conf: (2) Quik_Bas

   You need to include QB.BI for QuickBASIC.  I believe QBASIC has it built
   right in.  Also, you're calling syntax wasn't correct.  After the
   argument list, you need to include the offset of the array holding the
   program.

   CALL ABSOLUTE (argument1,argument2,...  ,VARPTR(AsmProg(1)))

   Hope this helps.
