Running a form from the EXEC line (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

Can someone tell me how to run a form from the system editor EXEC line? Probably a no-brainer, but it's been a no-brainer kind of day.
TIA,

Don -
Tried that, but I get a 'script contains an invalid character' message.

Mike,
Sorry about that. That will work with the System Monitor. I don't recall if there is a "best" way to do it from the EXEC line of the System Editor but the following will work:
RUN START_WINDOW "Window"

Mike,
I use EXEC WINDOW_NAME from the exec line all the time. No quotes around WINDOW_NAME.

Tim,
Perhaps it's System Monitor you use and not the System Editor?

Tim,
I don't often run windows from the System Editor or Monitor. I knew one can do it with RUN START_WINDOW. START_WINDOW is fine because one can include a CreateParam. My own windows often have create parameters, so if I wanted to test them from the System *itor I'd use RUN START_WINDOW. But what about that EXEC command from the System Monitor? Are parameters allowed? I'm too lazy to try, but since the window name must be without quotes I assume parameters are out. So the reason for EXEC to exist must mainly be to launch tools included with OpenInsight.
I don't think EXEC is documented, just mentioned in passing. Ira?

I've never really tried using it with parameters either. Just normally use it to start test windows to run my dodgy code ;p

EXEC translates into a RUN START_OIWIN WINNAME and as Start_OiWin doesn't take more than one parameter it's safe to assume you can't use EXEC to pass create params…

Sprezzatura,
START_OIWIN??? Another one that's slipped through Ira's net?

Well it was a very old routine - 1992 I recall first seeing it! And it was superceded by Start_Window….

Yes, and our women even have names like Valborg, Herborg, Borghild and Bergljot.
And Hildegunn.
