 MO> Does anyone know why QuickBASIC (and the interpreter) chokes on the CALL

  First, you must load QB with QB.QLB, which contains the ABSOLUTE routine.
Then, either you must declare it yourself, or $INCLUDE the file QB.BI.
Both files come with QuickBASIC.  When compiling, use QB.LIB.

  Interpreter?!
