"Hey John, that sounds interesting... Keeping a configuration data file perhaps..."
- No, you don't even have to do that.
Just know the name of your own exe (say-'myprog.exe'), make sure the current dir is your exe folder, then:
Execfile("myprog.exe") : End
Blitz will pass the Execfile command to Windows, and shut down your currently running program.
I actually need to do this when I offer users the chance to change resolutions (of course I warn them that they are about to completely restart the program; nothing so clever as Wolfenstein which does that but comes back to the original screen/position, though I guess that could be done with a little planning).
