We are developing an OS/2 2.0 application -- and the installation process
needs to be implemented soon. 

The objective is to have the user execute an "install" CMD or EXE file
that creates a Program Object for the user.

How do you do this?  (I have a faint recollection of seeing a REXX program
that would do this.) I know how to do it "manually" -- by copying a program
object from Templates -- but the user should be spared this step.


Any help or pointers would be most appreciated.  Thanks.
