Well the following works for me:



From TCL - PC EXIT C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER



From R/Basic - PCPERFORM "C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER"

<QUOTE>It really IS as easy as Don says.  (I use AREV 2.11 in case that might make a difference although I doubt it.)



A couple of points though.  The DOS Icon or session from whence you are running AREV cannot have the "Prevent MS-DOS from detecting Windows" checked in the Advance Program Settings Button on the PROGRAM tab.   Otherwise, you will be told that you can't run x-program from DOS.



Moreover, if the WIN95 program has a "non- 8.3" name or is along a path that does not conform to the 8.3 DOS file naming convention, then part of the stuff after the "PC EXIT" will need to be enclosed in quotes.  



I have used this method to launch WORD, EXCELL, NOTEPAD, etc. apps with and without a starting document or macro.



Note that the AREV session will immediately continue concurrent with the multitasking WIN application.  If you are running AREV in full screen, I think it leaves the AREV screen minimized but do not remember for sure.



I assign an AREV MENU of Windows Apps to a macro key (Alt-5).



Good luck!
