Hi Mike,

Yes to both questions. However, I wouldn't use RUN to execute the program. Rather I'd use the ShellExecute() and send it the name of a shortcut to the program I'd want to execute. You can create a short cut by right clicking on the executable file name. You can then edit it, to run it in a minimized window and automatically close on program termination. You could optionally use the ShowWindow() API call to hide it completely.

>Also, will it stop processing while the DOS program is running?
>(i.e. wait till the DOS app has completed.)

No
