Run filename plus path

Description
The help pages for Run, RunWait, RunAs and RunAsWait functions could more accurately describe the filename parameter. As it is written, "The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, PIF) to run.", many users are believing that the parameter should only contain the name of the executable without the path.
I suggest to change the description of the parameter to indicate that the path should be included. Perhaps "The name of the executable (EXE, BAT, COM, PIF) to run, including the path.".

Since notepad.exe is on the system path, it is always going to work.
Adding the following examples may help understanding
Run("Notepad.exe", "c:\windows", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
Run("c:\windows\notepad.exe", "" , @SW_MAXIMIZE)

This is already done in 3.3.1.2. I changed the examples slightly as well.
