Help needed (running a program from a program).

The ususal way to do something like this would be to use Exec
Here is a code fragment I found in a book so it should work ok (I
havent tested it)

program parent;
{$M 1024,0,0}

uses dos

begin
        swapvectors;
        Exec('child.exe','command line arguments');
        swapvectors;
end;

Hope this helped
