Thanks Scott I suppose I should have worded my post a little better in the beginning. What I was trying to determine was I'd it faster to use a procedure either externally or internally defined versus coding it as a program and using the CALL 'program name'

... the main time I use CALLP is when calling a procedure that has the

callp write(fd: %addr(data): %len(data));

I can't just code write() because it's the same name as the WRITE opcode.
