Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

 :launch run='string'.
 
The :launch tag creates a reference to a program. The reference is linked to
the text specified by the preceding :hpt and :ehpt tags. The system starts
the program identified by the string value whenever the user clicks on or
chooses the text.
 
Parameter  Description

           command line for an MS OS/2 program and must be enclosed in
           single quotation marks (').
 
Example
 
This example uses the :launch tag to start the System Editor when the user
clicks on the text "View MYDOC":
