Character client as MDI

I have a VB menuing program that calls the character client program passing in the .p program to run. Is there any way I can make that .p a MDI child of the VB Menuing program?
 
Hello (me again, with more information),

We are running a Visual Basic 6 program that displays a menu to the user. Many of the options we want to invoke from the menu are CHUI 4GL programs. We currently invoke _progres.exe via the "shell" command, but then the 4GL program is independent (the user now sees two separate windows) from the menu program. All of our VB related options are invoked as MDI children of the main menu form (MDI Parent). We want to invoke the CHUI 4GL programs as MDI children too. However, we don't know how to do it. We've tried looking for a MSDOS based OCX that we could embed on a sub-form in VB and then invoke the 4GL inside that window, but that search has not been fruitful. We'd like to embed the _progres.exe on a sub-form but don't know if there is an OCX version of _progres_.exe. Is there something like this? If not, can anyone give me a better idea on where to go from here?

Thanks.
