You can use that (100% will work):

=======================================================
proc main
string CmdLine
integer x
strfmt CmdLine "C:\Mapi\sendmail.bat"
run CmdLine x
endproc
=======================================================

For CmdLine you can write any path you need.
x is a variable (you can use for other aplication but it must be here)
It should be work.
Use exactly in this form (included x variable)

Good luck,
Geo

I posted this on the Symantec Procomm forum in response to your message over there. Reposting here to make sure you get it:

I tried this on my NT machine and my batch file executed as expected. However, while reading the documentation of the run command in the ASPECT help file, I noticed this: "run cannot be used for DOS internal commands and batch files; use the dos command instead." Try switching to the dos command and see if that works any better for you.
