I have a VCL form application, and on a button onClick Event, I want to open 
a shortcut (CmdShortcut) pointing to cmd.exe, and run some command window 
application (SomeApp.exe) within the command window. I have no idea how to 
do this because I can't seem to use the online help very effectively. I 
can't even figure out how to execute any app or get a command line.

I'm using Turbo C++ Explorer on XP SP2.

Any help appreciated.

p.s. Should have I posted this to cppbuilder.language.cpp ??
