We *think* this is available from the "ProDOS 8 Update" at APDA; it will
also be in the next version of DTS's Q&A stack, and it's on page 60 of
the old ProDOS 16 Reference.

Any way, the parameter count = 4, next byte = $EE, next word points to the
pathname of the application to launch next.  The high bits are actually
used in this path, so don't have them on by accident.  The last 3 bytes
in the parameter list should be zero.
