Yep. In fact, this is my fix that's going out to test now -- replace the call to ShellExecute with a cruddy old ! command. But, it works, so for now we're doing it that way.

Good points. I'll try fixing these, but I'm wondering if this can cause the different behavior we're seeing?

One of the other developers downloaded that, so I'll have to take a look and see what you're doing that we're not. ;-)

Thanks again for the help!
