I need to be able to run a WorkBench program from another program,
including WorkBench programs that parse WorkBench messages.

How does one do this?  I seem to recall a program somewhere that did
something like this, but I don't remember where.  The other program may
be a process or task, I am not sure which.

A side question:
What I am trying to do is run WorkBench programs from a menu (it can do
CLI programs the same way as runback).  Now, since it may take some
time to load and run the new program, should I do this from a new
task/proc to keep IntuiMessages from piling up, or does it matter?
