Use the Execute Program object to run the following from VEE:
q Compiled programs written in other languages
q
*.BAT or *.COM files
q MS DOS system commands, such as
dir
q Any document or URL with a recognized extension. The “open”
action is invoked in the files. If an “open” action does not exist, the
default action is invoked with the file. An example of a URL would be
http://www.agilent.com/find/vee.

Run Style Determines the window size.
