opening a program within a program

I am using Borland c++ Builder and want to know how to open a program within
a program. I can't seem to find a function that will do this. Basically what
I want to do is be able to click on a button in my program and open another
program, say notepad
for example. How do I do this without using the system() function?
Thanks ahead of time.

Try ShellExecute or CreateProcess
