This should work, though you have to specify "open process" or
"launch" and you do need the full path to the program. Tuv Snyder's
externals package as a function that returns this.
Also note that you could simplify this whole process using a URL:
put recuperation(cartes) into url ("file:" & laSortie)

I think you're missing a "return larecup" here...
