If you want to open paint brush without opening a file (and you know the complete path), use RUN.

Otherwise, you can use ShellExecute, passing the name of the file you want opened, like this:

DECLARE INTEGER ShellExecute IN Shell32;
  INTEGER hwnd, STRING @lpOperation, STRING @lpFile,;
  STRING @lpParameters, STRING @lpDirectory, SHORT nshow
* lcfile is the bitmap to open, lcdir is the working directory.
* lnshow is the show command
lcop = 'open'
lnresult = ShellExecute(0, @lcop, @lcfile, 0, @lcdir, lnshow)

See help for RUN for the lnshow values. The return value will be greater than 31 if the function succeeds.
