Joe,

You could create a batch file and run the batch file from fox. For example,
mybatch.bat could contain the following:

cd \newdir
myprogram.exe

Or, any combination of dos commands to go where you want and do what you want. You could even use foxpro logic to create the batch file before fox runs it, although that might be a more complicated way to go.
