- Just write a CMD file (OS/2's equivalent of a batch file, though much
- more powerful, especially when using REXX code) which does one thing:
- calls the application in question using START. Look up the various
- options for START in your online Command Reference and all will be
- clear. Then attach this CMD file to your system menu just as you did
- with CMD.EXE.
