newbie: launching applications from Delphi

Hello,

Here is a simple question: what is the most simple way of launching
another application (winword, excel) from a Deplhi program?

Thanks in advance

WinExec. (When that doesn't work you go to ShellExecute, which allows
you to specify the statup directory.)

Don't you guys find it tedious typing the same thing
after your signature each time you post something?
I know I do, but when in Rome...
