I've not tried this in Pascal (it's been a long time since I tried anything in Pascal tbh) but there should be an 'exec' procedure to which you pass the path to the program (including it's name) and a string of command line args

Example from Turbo Pascal's Help file:

Code:

{ Example for DosExitCode and Exec }

{$M $4000,0,0 }   { 16K stack, no heap }
uses Dos;
var
 ProgramName, CmdLine: string;
begin
 Write('Program to Exec (full path): ');
 ReadLn(ProgramName);
 Write('Command line to pass to ',
       ProgramName, ': ');
 ReadLn(CmdLine);
 WriteLn('About to Exec...');
 SwapVectors;
 Exec(ProgramName, CmdLine);
 SwapVectors;
 WriteLn('...back from Exec');
 if DosError <> 0 then{ Error? }
   WriteLn('Dos error #', DosError)
 else
   WriteLn('Exec successful. ',
           'Child process exit code = ',
           DosExitCode);
end.

Hope that helps
