I have used fexecv() with no problem. Simple cases, though

Without giving it extensive thought (how's that for a dislaimer?),
it seems to me that you just need to LoadSeg() the image that you
want to run, and then call that image's entry point.  fexecv()
probably stores the returned value (D0?) someplace so wait() can get
it and give it back to you.  This may be a little simplistic, but it
couldn't be all that tricky to do.
