Hi all!

I've got a small question here.  I would like to lauch a full screen,
(or windowed), program from a Help.IPF application that I've written.  
So far, it looks like this:

:link reftype=launch object='test.exe' data='arg1 arg2'.TEST:elink.

My problem seems to be that it does not seem possible to 'launch' a
full screen, (or windowed), application from the Help Manager.  This
*does* work when launching PM apps.  Is this a bug, or am I doing some
thing wrong??  I need a little help from all of the wisdom out there!!!

Thanks to all in advance!!!

I don't think so.  If PM allows for the launching of FS or Windowed programs
from Groups, why not the Help Manager too???  (Besides, what if you want to
start deamon programs from HM?)
