I'm aware that sub-routines are very useful.  The thing I don't like is that the sub-routine is an object that must be stored in the same directory as the main program (I think).  If its a big program you have a bunch of little programs to sort through to find the main program.  Is their a way to tidy that up?  Not to mention that you have to purge them all if you plan to use them with a CASE statement as objects to be evaluated - unless you can call the sub-routine in the form of a compiled local variable and CASE statement object which I haven't actually tried yet.  (Compiled local variables automatically go away after program execution.) If their was a quick, neat way of doing all that it would be more useful than what I'm actually asking for help with.  But, never-the-less I feel that what I'm about to describe would be useful anyway.  That is, how do you write a small program (sub-routine) and copy and paste its contents into a larger one?  I'm not talking about calling the name, I'm talking about copying the contents.  How do you copy the contents of the small one and place it inside at a specific point in the larger program?  Or, is their a way to just use the sub-routine name without having to keep 20 subs in the same directory with the main program?
