Suppose you wanted to have a short EXE that launches a second EXE as in the following:
clear
olddate = fdate('c:\program files\dfds\trp manager\trp.exe',1)
newdate = fdate('\\tpdfiles\data\dfreeman\applications\trpmanager\trp.exe',1)

if newdate > olddate
	ans = messagebox("There is a newer version of TRP Manager available. " + ;
		"Would you like to copy it to your workstation now?",3)
	do case
	case ans = 6
		copy file '\\tpdfiles\data\dfreeman\applications\trpmanager\trp.exe' to ;
			'c:\program files\dfds\trp manager\trp.exe'
	case ans = 2
		cancel
	endcase
endif

do 'c:\program files\dfds\trp manager\trp.exe'
But you wanted the first EXE to close at the end of the script and leave the second EXE running (trp.exe in this case).

How would you do this?
