How hard can it be to simply execute another windows application from VFP?

From the VFP documentation I understand the RUN command to be used for executing a DOS command and being able to adjust various settings in the FOXRUN.PIF or an appropriate other PIF file.

When I run the following command I do manage to run solitair but get the unavoidable dos box with it.
run c:\winnt\system32\sol.exe

There must be some native way of adressing just plain windows executables.

No, of course I don't want to run solitaire. What I'm trying to do is to execute a winbatch file with a .wbt extension (Wilson WindowWare - Winbatch - Version 99K - WIL Interpreter) to remote control another software to export certain data.
