All you have to code is DO MY_PRG_FILENAME
No extension is needed if this is a PRG file. The compile PRG has a FXP extension. For a compiled .APP the command is DO ("MYAPPNAME.APP") By putting the name of the app in parens and quotes, you prevent the program manager from trying to add and include the APP file in the project. If you want the .APP included in the current project, then remove the parens and quotes. Same applies if you want or do not want the PRG file included in your project [you probably want to include it].
