Oh, yeah, that's real basic BASIC stuff.  8-)

You can also use EXEC to automate program execution provided that the 
programs use standard I/O (sorry, if the program reads the keyboard 
directly, EXEC won't work).

The next Applesoft tip you should learn, though, is that GPLE is a lot 
more stable, robust, and programmer-friendly than Program Writer.  8-)
