5.6.8 Making a Flow Chart a reusable Subchart

Create Subcharts to reuse common Flow Chart programming. This reuse speeds
development and testing, since you only create and debug a chart once. When
you create a Subchart, you add arguments specific to the chart. Another Flow
Chart can then call the Subchart and assign values to these chart-specific tags.
