LDK>  I am wondering if it is possible to call an OS/2 executable program

LDK>  Specifically, if a user is in a toolbook (windows multimedia program)
LDK>  application, I would like it to be possible to double click on an icon

LDK>  possible from Windows??

I doubt you could do it directly but you could probably do it using
a named pipe.  You could create a small OS/2 program that runs in the
background and waits for a named pipe and runs the OS/2 program when
the necessary information goes through the named pipe.
