                            ^^^^^^
The first argument to Execute() is the filename of an executable in your
command path.  In this code "callee" is a function name inside the code.
BTW, just for saftety, I would have been happier to see "0L" in the second
and third arguments. (I don't know what your compiling environment is.)
And, just for safety, if my memory is in gear this morning, Execute()
returns "short".
