subject: calling Windows prog from PM

Yes. The other one is WinStartApp().

It seems more complex to fill out all the parameters than DosStartSession()
but simplyfiesy the handling inside your PM program.

At least you my use system().

All 3 ways are good to start any kind of application type. On the other
hand you can't use an other API to start an application with different
type.

Inside a PM program I prefer WinStartApp(). It will (optionally) send a
message WM_APPTERMINATENOTIFY if the started application ends to an window
of my election.

Tschau/Bye
