Following the instructions for "launch" in the LC docs, I tried the substitute 
method suggested:

get shell("start MyProgram.exe")

this didn't work using the name of the program in Windows Explorer, presumably 
because there was a space in the name.

I also tried to get a path to the program, which was reported by LC as 

C:/Program Files/My Tests/My Test.exe

and this failed too, with Windows reporting that it couldn't find "Program". So 
shell doesn't like spaces. I thought that one could get rid of that by 
replacing space with "%20" but that didn't work either.

Pardon my ignorance, but what should I have done?
