That's my command now, i haven't tried yet. I put the \n because it is written
in the DDE options. I also use it under the win2k system. Without the /n i
cannot open the doc.
system("command.com /c start"," ",$filename_winword,"/n ","docs/$result->
{DOCUMENT_NAME}");

I don't own a win98 system. How to be sure if the command works under such a
system. Any reference of what can replace the start command because it stuck
unless i use it in my syntax.

Do you say that the start doesn't work
Do you say that the start doesn't work under win98? However, the DDE for
the .DOC is the same with the win2k.
