I have done a search and I suspect that "start" is not actually an
executable program (that is I can't find a start.exe or start.com or
start.bat in the filesystem), but rather some sort of built in command.
So I created a batch file with the single line

start %1

and put the name of this batch file in the prefs->externals->pdf_viewer
and lo and behold it ran the file association of denemoprint.pdf.

So although we can't spawn the program start (presumably because it is a
command and not a program) we can spawn a batch file that uses it.
The only remaining question is where to place this batch file. I got it
working by putting it in ~/.denemo which is unpleasant looking.
