subject: spawn.. and DOS programs?

  DosStartSession(..) will probably be your best bet. I *believe* most
run-time spawn(..) implementations eventually end up calling DosExecPgm(..)
which will only start a session of the same type. DosStartSession(..)
doesn't suffer from this restriction.

    See ya,
