This is a total shot in the dark, but here goes:

If you know that it is a bat file you need to execute, you might want to 
execute command.com with the parameter "/c filename.bat". In other words, use
the exec function to execute a copy of command.com and give it the online
argument "/c filename.bat". I am assuming that if you can execute .exe files, 
then you won't have problems executing command.com either. 

So the arg0 pointer in the argument list for exec should point to a string
containing "/c filename.bat".

Never tried this, and am not about to; but I hope this helps.

Milan.
