If I understand this correctly, it's not LiveCode that'll be running the
program, but Windows; LiveCode is simply initiating the execution.
Can Windows run programs that exist only in the memory space of another
application?
I don't know the answer to that, but kinda I hope not, since intuitively
it seems like a potential security hole.
Can you write the program file to temp and launch it from there?
Or rewrite its functionality in script?
