Sidney,

Yes, you can easily verify that WinExec() returns the value from
LoadModule().  With a little more time spent in the debugger, you can
learn how WinExec() handles a DOS application: WinExec() calls
LoadModule() twice for a DOS application.  The first invocation is
for the "grabber" (see the SYSTEM.INI file).  The second invocation
is for WINOA???.MOD (WINOA386.MOD for enhanced mode).  [I've only
done this "debugging" in enhanced mode.]  The process/task running
WINOA seems to be the one that "controls" the DOS application.
