Use AbtProgramStarter, or if you need more control it's the CreateProcess API, implemented in

OSCall>>createProcess: lpApplicationName
lpszCommandLine: lpCommandLine
lpsaProcess: lpProcessAttributes
lpsaThread: lpThreadAttributes
fInheritHandles: bInheritHandles
fdwCreate: dwCreationFlags
lpvEnvironment: lpEnvironment
lpszCurDir: lpCurrentDirectory
lpsiStartInfo: lpStartupInfo
lppiProcInfo: lpProcessInformation
