Well depends what you mean, i remember working on a project involving opening other files made in DBC.

Technically you can use the file, dunno if thats what you want, and yes if there is no C:Windows blah blah it will read from the directory the original exe was executed.

+ Code Snippet

execute file "C:WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE",commandline$,directory$,1

Hope that helps, or even if it was close to what u were looking for

execute file "my_other_program.exe","",""

Shove a ,1 on the end of that if you want your program to then wait until the other one's finished. No point using the two parameters that I've filled with "" unless you really want to.
