that is exactly what i assumed about the process creation and exactly what i
was going to try. at least i know i wasn't so far off.
is there any way in the future that maybe the ability could be added to the
CAQuiateExec function which will read another property that could be set to
specify working directories? It could be a constant property name for all
CAQuietExec functions, like CAQuietDir or something?
