In the past I've use DosExecPgm to start another program, but now
I need to keep it as a child process.  DosStartSession is very 
poorly documented.  Any ideas on what to put in Environment and
TermQ?

I'm getting a status return of 4367 and can't find any information
on it in any documentation.  Any help?

Do you put the .exe extension on the program name?  Will the path
environment variable be used, or must the file be explicitly used?

Any help. (or a program-segment as an example) would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
