About Microsoft Windows 3.1

Windows 3.1x is a series of 16-bit operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers. The series began with Windows 3.1, which was first sold during March 1992 as a successor to Windows 3.0. Further editions were released between 1992 and 1994 until the series was superseded by Windows 95.

Windows 3.1 often ran on MS-DOS, but could also run on IBM OS/2

How do I run a batch file with WinExec?

I'm using Windows 3.11, and in answer to a question about running batch files with certain attributes, someone suggested using WinExec. How do I do that? Is there something special to do because it's a batch file instead of a normal program?
