Oh, I like easy questions :^). Can you say multi-tasking. It's the
timing. START does not wait for test8 to complete before continuing with
test7. You are clearing out the queue before you have a chance to read
it. With CALL or CMD, Test7 does not continue until test8 finishes.
Qnew has a space "prepended" because you have 2 spaces before 'Qnew'. The
first is discarded. The 2nd becomes part of the argument passed to test8.
Not what you expected, but that's the way it works. You'll notice I tend
to be fussy about spaces in my code. There's a reason.
