I assume you're on a Windows platform, so I haven't tried it, but this should do the work (Win_Api_Shell.WinExec):
Excerpt from Forms Builder Help:
Execute a Windows program from within an Oracle Developer product. The program runs independently of the product that called it.
Syntax
PROCEDURE Win_Api_Shell.WinExec
(Command IN VARCHAR2,
WindowStyle IN PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL,
RaiseExceptions IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
