int pascal WinExec(char *szCommand, int bSwap)

  This function spawns the child program specified by szCommand. It
will also try to swap your entire MEWEL application to disk or to
expanded memory, leaving a small 1K stub resident. For a sample of
how to use the WinExec() function, please refer to the source code
supplied with the MEWEL DESKTOP application.

Parameters
  szCommand is the complete command line for the child process.
  bSwap is TRUE if you want to try to swap the currently running MEWEL
   application out to disk or to expanded memory.  WinExec() will
   automatically detect expanded memory, and will swap to expanded
   memory if you have an EMS driver which is version 3.0 or above, and if
   enough expanded memory is available.

Returns
  0x0000 to 0x00FF - the return code from thge exec'ed program
  0x0100                   - Error writing the swap file
  0x0200                   - Program file not found
  0x03yy                  - DOS error code yy calling EXEC
  0x0400                   - Error allocating environment buffer

Note - the swapping of the parent is not performed under OS/2.
