I'm trying to DosExecPgm a program that requires command-line switches.  
The docs say that these args are placed in a "pointer to zero-terminated 
string*s*", and passed to the function.

Well, that arg to DosExecPGm is typedef'ed as "char *PSZ", so I'm a little 
lost on how it points to more than one string.  I have tried a few of what 
I thought were possibilities, but no luck.

Will someone post a code fragment which shows the correct way to load the 
argument string for DosExecPgm?

Thanks in advance.
