This solution assumes that you are using an NT-based operating system
such as Windows XP.
By changing �CMD� to the value of the ComSpec environment variable,
the solution will be more reliable.
I may completely contradict myself by offering you a different line
that will only work on Windows XP (which is what I'm using), but I
found that Sean's line didn't work for the files I tested. Here is
what I used instead:
File.RunWait(0, Env("ComSpec"), "/C Start /Wait " ++ MyDocument, "", "")
