I would like make my windows program run the following DOS command :

	rsh %1 "sendmail %2 %3 %4" < %5

I have created a batch file with this command and a pif file to run it.

My problem is that I can get the thing to run using WinExec() with no command
line options (the %1's ) but I can't see how I can get the command options in.
I have tried the LoadModule() function but it apparently only likes true Windows
programms and not pif's.

Does anyone out there know how I can get the command line options to work? 

Any suggestion would be apprieciated (Any suggestions on how to improve my 
spelling might help too :-) )

Thanks in advance
Geoff Lamb
