Write a DOS batch file (.BAT) and use Lingo's "open" command on it. You can write the .BAT file on the file with the FileIO XObject, if you need to. You can avoid the screen flash by providing a customized .PIF file to run the batch file in a Windows window (even switching Director back to the front if you must with the TASKMGR.DLL Xobject from the MediaBook CD).
