For example to start VMWare running Linux Red Hat from your TSE,
you could use the following macro (I am using 4dos/4nt to get it
running, using MSDOS gave some problems with this parameters. It
might be that you can adapt this for MSDOS also):

---

--- cut here ---------------------------------------------------------

PROC Main()
 Dos( 'c:\4dos\4nt.exe "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware 
Workstation\vmware.exe" -x "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My 
Documents\My Virtual Machines\Linux Red Hat v9.0\Linux Red Hat 
v9.0.vmx"', _DONT_PROMPT_ )
END

<F12> Main()

--- cut here ---------------------------------------------------------


---

You might for example use this to have some excursions with TSE in
Linux, starting this with one press of a button (e.g. <F12>), from your
TSE in Windows (the more operating systems you have installed in 
VMWare, the handier this possibly should come).
