"would it contain the MS-DOS program in the window that the source code originates"
No.
"would it open it outside of the window"
Yes.
"and into a full-screen mode ""
Default MS-Dos Window size.
It may just flash at you unless the program has a read issued to the user.
It should open in the default size that all other windows open.
The startinfo structure described by spotty, has another property System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo.WindowStyle which can set the window to maximized,minimized, normal or not visible.
This method allows you to provide a command line argument by specifying a second parameter. Often useful as many DOS application allow the applications startup/configuration setting to be configured when calling the application.
Now doing that, would it contain the MS-DOS program in the window that the source code originates, or would it open it outside of the window and into a full-screen mode Thanks.
MS-DOS??

So this is how I would structure the program
--------------------------------------
Public
Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.ClickProcess.Start(
"Program.exe") End SubEnd
Class---------------------------------------
Thanks.
