What I'm asking really isn't so complex...I want to start an OS/2
editor from my DOS mail reader.  An OS/2 unzipper from my DOS term
program.

I don't mind setting up complex .cmd files for it.  I don't mind
compiling something special in DOS.

Is there any, any way to launch an OS/2 program from a DOS box.  Or is
there any way to signal a "lurking" OS/2 program to wake up from a DOS
box.  Or is the only way to make a batch file that polls the file
system for a flag (YUUUUCH!)?
