From Jim Eberle: > How does one run a Windows program from the command in Xy 4 under > Windows 95? The command is: dos/nv/x/z /c [path]EXECUTABLE.EXE where the /nv/x/z switches go to DOS without prompting you to save files and without giving a message about how to get back to XY; /c activates (I think) COMMAND.COM or its equivalent; EXECUTABLE.EXE is the Windows program. Thus, to get to the WordPad, you'd do this: dos/nv/x/z /c c:\"program files"\accessories\wordpad Notice that the subdirectory "program files" has quotes because that's what the Win95 flavor of DOS wants when there is a space in the pathname. Also note the space before and after /c. Basically, it's just what you'd type in the Run box by the Start button, but with the addition of "dos/nv/x/z /c ". Your XPL program could also just switch you to the right directory and back, or you could have a PATH statement in your Autoexec. RTM. Good luck. Tim Baehr tbaehr@aol.com
