Thank you; this works. I had assumed that my DOS program was in the app folder;
it wansn't. I had it on D:\ and the app was on Desktop. Very Nubie.
I'll hazard one more question to temp fates here; what I really want to do,
seeing that I can't embed the DOS in rb as Frank (?) noted, launch this
particular DOS and effectively drag/drop a text file into it all in on move
from code. The little DOS utility I have accepts a txt file drop and spits out
a binary file.
Perhaps this is not possible with FolderItem class but it seems to me it
should be. JUst not there yet.
Thanks all the same

Launch works with RB 5.5.5.
Try something along these lines:
Dim YourDOSProgram as FolderItem
YourDOSProgram = GetFolderItem("C:\YourDOSProgram.exe")
YourDOSProgram.Launch
Also note that if you place your DOS program in the same folder as your RB
application or an RB project that has been saved, you can use this:
Dim YourDOSProgram as FolderItem
YourDOSProgram = GetFolderItem("YourDOSProgram.exe")
YourDOSProgram.Launch
