why do you want to run it under a different name?

try using this in the console… it should copy the program to the root directory under the name movie…
"copy /secret/alongtimeago /movie"

Or you could just edit <NameOfProgram>
And do this:


shell.run("secret/alongtimeago")

And if you want to run it on a Monitor then:


shell.run("monitor", "back", "secret/alongtimeago") -- Change "back" to side you are using!
