Running QuickWin Programs

This section explains how to run your QuickWin programs from the DOS command line or from within Windows.

From the Command Line

Type WIN (not case sensitive) followed by the program name. If the program is not in the current directory or in a directory specified by PATH, specify a path. For example,

C:WIN C:\PROGRAMS\HELLO

Note:

QuickWin programs that contain the enhanced features cannot be run as DOS programs. They can only be run under Windows in Standard or Enhanced mode.

With the Windows Run Command

In Windows, choose Run from the File menu. Type the program name, prefixed with a path if needed. Click the OK button.

From the Windows File Manager

In the Windows File Manager, double-click the name of the program's .EXE file.

From a Windows Icon

In Windows, use the New command and select the “Add Program Item” option to add your program to a group (a collection of applications in the Windows Program Manager window). This displays an icon for your program, which you can double click with the mouse to run the program.
