	When you specify a file for a menu item on the menu it must be a progress<br/>
procedure. The file is executed using the progress run command. To run an<br/>
executable you would need to use the OS-Command command. The only way to run<br/>
an executable from the menu is to write a progress procedure that will run<br/>
the file.<br/>

Subject: [Vantage] Adding .EXE to menu<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Hi All,<br/>
<br/>
     I would like to add an item to the Vantage menu to run a windoze .EXE<br/>
program.  I tried it, but Vantage crashes when I run it.   Can this be<br/>
done, or can only Progress programs be added?<br/>
<br/>
     I know .EXEs can be put into Favorites.  Seems like it should work<br/>
from the main menu as well?  (this is Vantage 3, BTW)<br/>
