Can someone tell me how to run another application from within a Carbon
application like the Windows ShellExecute command?

I'm new to Carbon programming, and I can't find how to do this 

It depends on what you mean by "application."

If you want to launch another windowed application, use LaunchServices.

If you want to execute a task in its own process, use the standard Unix exec or system commands.
