Assume a program can be a called program or a standalone program. For example: If Program A is called from a menu, the parameters passed into it tell it to behave as a standalone program. If parameters passed into it differ, it operated as a called program and jumps to a different introductory screen. In turn, Program A can call other programs that may or may not also behave in the same dual function. How would activation groups affect this scenario? Your explanation was good, but my big problem with AGs is that they are rarely well explained, thus the value is nebulous. I remember playing with them and not being able to get data into called programs properly. Rather than try to figure out the problem I just chose to ignore them since, prior to AGs I never had that problem.
