Its a function that executes an exe and gives you back its task ID as a double

something like

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. dim a as double
  2. a = shell("c:\my_prog.exe" , [vb constant for the windowstyle])

hope that helps

"Link button to .exe"? What does that mean?

He's presumably suggesting the use of a Link/Hyperlink button to the .exe, as seen in VB.net and later.
