Executing RList from a menu option (OpenInsight Specific)

I am attempting to make a menu item that will execute the opening screen that you get when you click on the Revelation Reporter OpenInsight for Workgroups.
I have an menu item that executes SList and used a quick event to execute it. I can't find any quick event that will execute RList. My app has 1 report which had to use RList.
Any ideas on how to execute RList from a menu item?
Thanks

Do you mean REPORTER.EXE or the window ORMAIN?

I believe that I want the reporter.exe. I want the user to click on the drop down menu option and select reporter. I wish the same screen (Revelation Reporter for Workgroups) that appears when I click on the revelation reporter button in the development system to appear.
What is ORMAIN?

ORMAIN is OI window name of the original RList reporting tool supplied In The Beginning. It outputs report data using standard RList using a fixed courier font, which is why S/List was written to overcome this. This tool was deprecated in favour in reporter.exe afterwards but it's still there - just undocumented.
Search this site looking for OR_VIEW if you're curious. I'm pretty sure it's been documented up here at some point.
We don't use reporter.exe so I'm not sure how accurate the current documentation is, but there are notes on executing the reporter via a command line in the on-line help (REPORTER.HLP) using Utility "RUNWIN" so you could look there and see how you go.
