I've never uses HSTART, or any other START other than 4DOS/4OS2's built in
START.  It will start OS/2 sessions from DOS sessions, and will do the
following:

START ["program title"] [/B[G] /C /DOS[=optfile] /F[G] /FS
/ICON=iconfile /INV /K /L /LA /LD /LH /MAX /MIN /N
/PGM progname /PM /POS=x,y,width,height /WIN
/WIN3[=optfile] /WIN3S[=optfile]] [command]

program title:  Title to appear on title bar.
optfile:        Option settings file.
iconfile:       Name of icon (.ICO) file.
progname:       Program name (not the session name).
command:        Command to be executed.

/B[G] (background)          /LH (local history list)
/C(lose when done)          /MAX(imized)
/DOS (DOS session)          /MIN(imized)
/F[G] (foreground)          /N(o command processor)
/FS (full screen)           /PGM (program name)
/ICON (.ICO file)           /PM (PM application)
/INV(isible)                /POS(ition of window)
/K(eep when done)           /WIN(dowed session)
/L(ocal lists)              /WIN3 (Windows enhanced mode)
/LA (local aliases)         /WIN3S (Windows standard mode)
/LD (local dir history)
