Hello Tim,

The GO_SUB invocation in .fm files is needed for the dual use of the code.
When a .fm file is loaded using VBLoad, the code is passed through "eval",
and when the file is edited in VB, it is not, but the code can be edited
in the object inspector. The GO_SUB method is not explained because .fm
files are not intended for manual editing.

The invocation is correct. All subs stored in FT950.fm will be
processed automatically.

True, that is because execute() is intended for dialog execution, which
is an event loop itself. If you need to run Form1 while other windows
(if any) need to be accessed too, then execute() is not to be used,
while "run Prima" is. For a single form though, execute() is a perfectly
legal invocation.
