VA_PROGSTART (0x4723) Server -> Client (11th November 1994)

Reply to AV_STARTPROG enquiry. Thing always sends an answer immediately, 
or after the end of programs started under Single-TOS which are not desk 
accessories. Currently the Return code for started programs is always 0.

If Thing ends before starting the program (e.g. Overlay mode under 
Single-TOS or starting an application in Single mode under MagiC) no 
answer message is sent.

A client will always receive an error message if the program couldn't
be started.

  Word 3: 0   = Error
          !=0 = Program was started
  Word 4: Return code of the program (where available)
  Word 7: 16 bit word from AV_STARTPROG
