A few days ago I asked about how one could execute other
.EXEs from inside of a windows application.  One reply
was to try using spawn.  The problem is that spawn doesn't
seem to like coexisting with Window's memory managers,
thus yields unpredictable results.  It may work, or....
Anyway, its got to be possible, since other applications
seem to make use of the notepad program (like PageMaker
does). Any help at all is appreciated, since I don't look
forward to writing my own editor :-).
			Thanks
