Why not use the function Execute() of the Amiga exec library? You can
pass it a complete CLI command line. If you want to let your old program
leave the system then precede this command line with a "run" and then 
close down the first program. If you problems with input channels
then use "newcli ... from batchfile". If you are more expert with
Amiga topics then use LoadSeg().

I can't believe that Manx is able to load a new program on top of it,
into the same memory area, as I understand it from your posting.
Also I think it cannot use the same task structure, so it just MUST
open a new process. If Manx does all this, tell me, that would sound
interesting.
