#PXPs calling PXPs

Is it possible for one IPAS routine (especially a .PXP) to call another as a subroutine, or even just branch to it? If so, it seems to me that this would be a very easy way around the 14 PXP limitation — simply write a real small .PXP that simply displays a list of all other .PXP files in the PROCESSES directory, allows you to choose one, and then executes it. Voila!

<<Is it possible for one IPAS routine (especially a .PXP) to call another as a subroutine, or even just branch to it?>> Interesting concept. I hadn't thought of this. My initial reaction is No, but let me look around a bit and see what I can come up with.

As I mentioned in the IPAS docs, we've found a much more elegant way to get rid of the 14 PXP per 3DS.SET limitation in r3. I know that that doesn't help you much with r2, but rest assured that it's already dealt with. – G PS: There's no way to do this in r2 with a pxp that loads pxps.

Does this mean you're marked for death? <G,D &R…FAST> Sorry, I couldn't resist. Promise I won't do it again, REALLY! (On pain of death <GGG>) DT
