Anyone out there used the gemdos Pexec command?  It supposedly allows one
to call other programs from a main program.  I've tried everything I could
think of to get it to work, but I've had no luck.  It keeps returning error
code -39.  According to the gemdos manual, this indicates not enough memory.
But I know I've got enough memory, becase the main program is about ten
lines long and the sub-program is about five lines long and I have a one-
megabyte machine!  This is terribly frustrating!  If anyone can offer any
suggestions or perhaps a solution, I will greatly appreciate it.
