Parameter Discussion
fileName is the program to be run.
If the program is not in one of the directories specified in the PATH environment variable, you
must specify the full path. The path can include arguments to be passed to the program.
Under Microsoft Windows, if the program is a .pif, .bat, or .com file, the extension must be
included in the path name.
For example, under Microsoft Windows the following command string launches the Edit
program with the file file.dat.
c:\\dos\\edit.com c:\\file.dat
