Word Excel Button -- numbers?

hi,,'

I just made a couple of buttons leading to WinWord & Excel, (works
just fine) and after using/testing I noticed this on the Command line::
(startapp "winword.exe") 6287 & (startapp "excel.exe") 19647.
Just wondering what the numbers are?

What if you add a (princ) at the end??

(startapp "winword.exe")(princ)

When adding princ, I get, (startapp "winword.exe)(princ).
Princ doesnt exit quietly, instead it shows as above on the cmd line.
What about the numbers, I'm still interested to know what they relate to.

The number is nothing more than a way for Autocad to keep track "somewhat"
of the application/file that startapp calls. You can use it to verify that
startapp did in fact get a file/application.
