I downloaded the dmc compiler a while back, i've been happy with it; but i would like to know the dmc equivalent of ShellExec, i've tried it and a few other variations but thought it'd be easier to ask.

So, what's the dmc-equivalent of ShellExec?

The rule for using any win32 function:

1) #include the .h file that declares the function.
2) call it within your code
3) make sure to link with the .lib library file that contains the function
