DvPifExecute (Pif File)

Executes another program under DesqView in another window. MarxMenu stays resident in its original window. The window executes according to the contents of the DesqView PIF file. The PIF file can be specified by using the full name. If you leave off the extension, MarxMenu assumes the extension DVP. If you pass a 2-character name, like the two characters in the DesqView menus, then MarxMenu will add -PIF.DVP to the name. If the PIF file is on the path, MarxMenu will find it.

Warning! DesqView must be loaded to run this command.


Example:
DvPifExecute 'BD' DvPifExecute 'BD-PIF' ;These all execute Big DOS DVPifExecute 'BD-PIF.DVP'

The task handle is loaded into a variable named DvLastHandle. When the program starts, it becomes the current top program.
