When I use this code:

if object collision(1,19)>0 then (command)

it works, but I am only able to use it once in my entire game.
Is there a solution?

maybe you want to trap the condition once and then stop checking?

Yes, the code is in the main loop.

A bigger picture is needed. What is the follow up (command) you indicate? Why do you need to call the routine again? Perhaps you could detail the over all concept you want.

What I wish to achieve is for an action to take place after a certain collision. For example, if my character hits a doorway, the level changes. But being able to use the command once, I can only have one object-collision dependent action. So if I also wanted to have the character lose life if he ran into an enemie, then I would have to forfeit being able to end the level with the same basic command.

Perhaps you need to setup an array of some type (or maybe just a set of flags) and then flag events within the array. Like collide with an item check to see if the item value is contained within the array, if it is then make a collision.

if collision(x,y)>0
for p=1 to 10
if a(p)=1 then life=life-10
next p
endif

a(p) being your monster array
if you needed to, you could then always reset a(p)=0 if you
didn't want that particular collision to occur anymore.
