This program was originally published in the Microsoft Systems Journal, by William J. Wen.
I could not get it to compile as published, so I made some modifications, but I take no
credit (or responsibility) for the original idea.
I can be reached at Justin Alcorn 1:157/200.63@fidonet (fakenet 1037/63)
This is the help screen from the program:

"pgm title" : Specifies the program title displayed in the PM menu:
MUST have a space inside quotes. Space as first char in
quotes will be removed i.e. " Demo" becomes "Demo".
/K : Start the program using COMSPEC= env string, with /K.
/C : Start the program using COMSPEC= env string, with /C.
/N : Start the program directly, without using COMSPEC=.
command : Command or program (.EXE or .CMD) to be started.
cmd inputs : Parameters for the command
/I : Causes new session to inherit env. from CONFIG.SYS
/ICON=... : Use icon file: the filename must be fully qualified
/ICON : Use default icon file: the icon file must be in the same
directory as the program, and must have the same name
as the program file, but with a .ICO extension
/FS : Start the program full screen.
/WIN : Start the program in a window.
/POS=(x,y) : Start window at coordinates. (0,0) is lower left corner.
/SIZ=(x,y) : Start window with size of (x,y) pixels.
/PM : Start the program in a PM window.
/F : Start the program in the foreground. This is different
from the OS/2 START cmd; you MUST specify /F to start
the program in the foreground, even with /WIN or /PM.
/NAC : Specify No Automatic Close after the session ends.
/INV : Specify No Icon for session (invisible).
/MIN : Start the session minimized.
