Chris - Your email does not seem to have come via Zurich.

Your suggestion does (*not*) work.

But it inspired me to try msdn again. In time, I may even learn how to read the
C syntax.

My latest version, which does work as I wanted, is

PROCEDURE Start (cmd : ARRAY OF CHAR);
   VAR
    res : INTEGER;
    info : WinApi.STARTUPINFOW;
    proc : WinApi.PROCESS_INFORMATION;
   BEGIN
     WinApi.GetStartupInfoW (info);
     info.wShowWindow := WinApi.SW_NORMAL;
     res := WinApi.CreateProcessW (NIL, cmd, NIL, NIL, WinApi.FALSE,
                                 WinApi.CREATE_NO_WINDOW, 0, NIL, info, proc)
   END Start;

And I was just getting used to having the DOS box flash up!

Thanks

Robert.
