Description

This allows the shell to start a new session. This can only be called by the shell that owns the session manager. I am not sure about the parameter 'type': this seems to be missing in some cases.

Syntax

APIRET16 Pascal far DOSSMSTART(short flag,short mode,short type, char far* null1,
                               char far* null2, char far* args, short* sessid, long unknown)

Parameters

flag: save parent session

   =0, yes
   =1, no

mode

   =0, start in foreground
   =1, start in background

type

   =0, normal session
   =1, vio session
   =2, windowed session
   =3, VDM session

null1: must be null

null2: must be null

args: program arguments

sessid: the newly generated session id is returned

unknown: ?
