Running an application 1

[finitesimian]

This should be a relatively simple question (I think). Here goes:

I currently have an application that scrapes a bunch of Screen.Area objects, and pastes them into a .txt file on my desktop. At the end of the script, I would like for it to open the .txt file in a new window (maximized). How do I do this?

Here is what it looks like so far (simplified)

'Assumes Sess0 has already been declared

Dim bunchofstuff As Object
Set bunchofstuff = Sess0.Screen.Area(1,2,1,10)


Open "C:\Documents and Settings\theuser\Desktop\scrape.txt" For Append As #1
    Print #1, bunchofstuff 
close 1

'from here, it needs to open scrape.txt maximized with focus 
Stop

This should help. It's not

rc% = Shell("Notepad.exe c:\windows\temp\infopac.txt",3)

the "3" tells it to maximize the window.

Thank you Calculus, it worked. I tried the "shell" command a couple of times prior to posting, but I was getting the proper syntax wrong.
