Perhaps this was covered a couple of years ago, but I have forgotten
the answer.

How can I start a PM type of program so that it is minimized?

I have made an object for it, but the MINIMIZED=YES parameter in the
setup string has no effect on it at all.  Also, the Session page in
the settings notebook shows the minimized option checked, but the whole
page is grayed out due to it being a PM style of program.

I have also tried changing the object data after the program is open,
but this also does not do anything--unlike the window controls which
will minimize it if you click on the minimized option on the menu, with
a mouse.

The program in question happens to be Post Road Mailer, which I am
trying to start from a rexx control program in such a way that it is
not visible on the desktop.  The control program wants PRM to just send
out queued up messages, and then quit--without appearing on the
desktop.

Any ideas on this?
