NAME
run - Run a Windows program from a DOS prompt within
Windows.
SYNOPSIS
run command [parameters] [&]
DESCRIPTION
If Windows is running, run passes the current directory
and command [parameters] [&] to the scheduler sched.
Sched will run command [parameters] as a child proces
in the indicated directory. The optional & symbol
indicates that the program will run minimized.
If Windows is not running, win command [parameters]
will be executed.
In order to use run, the scheduler must have been
loaded. Insert into the section [windows] in the file
win.ini:
load=sched.exe
The environment variable TEMP must have been set to
your directory for temporary files.
BUGS
If the environment variable TEMP is changed after
Windows has been started, communication between run and
sched will be lost.
Sched uses the environment variable PATH as it was when
Windows was started.
Changes made to the environment after Windows has been
started, have no effect on the program to be run. The
program inherrits the environment as it was when Win-
dows was started.
