Lines: 22 In the past I've use DosExecPgm to start another program, but now I need to keep it as a child process. DosStartSession is very poorly documented. Any ideas on what to put in Environment and TermQ? I'm getting a status return of 4367 and can't find any information on it in any documentation. Any help? Do you put the .exe extension on the program name? Will the path environment variable be used, or must the file be explicitly used? Any help. (or a program-segment as an example) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- -- Any disclaimers made for me, by me, or about me - may or may not accurately reflect my failure to be reflecting the opinions of myself or anyone else. ************************************************* * Brian Jay Gould - Professional Brain-stormer * *************************************************
