Switching application

Hi, I sure there is a way but I can't find it. I want to close down the current application and immediately start another. How can I do this from within the first application? Presumably as part of OnClose.

Have you looked at the spawnl function using P_NOWAIT as the first argument?

Re:Switching application

Works fine thank you. I am testing with argument OVERLAY.
I wonder where they got the funny word spawn from.

Spawning refers to the process that calls spawn as the parent and the

created process as the child. Using this train of thought, the word
spawn fits in with the definitions from dictionary.com.
verb transitive
1. To produce or deposit (spawn).
2. To produce in large numbers.
3. To give rise to; engender: tyranny that spawned revolt.
4. To cause to spawn; bring forth; produce: a family that had spawned a
monster.
5. To plant with mycelia grown in specially prepared organic matter.
