At least under 3.12 and 3.20, the following worked when one of the server's SYS:PUBLIC directories was in the DOS search path under Win9x, using my API_APPRUN class:

IF FILE('TEMP.TXT')
   ERASE TEMP.TXT
ENDIF
SET CLASSLIB TO PROCESS
oProc = CREATEOBJ('API_APPRUN','USERLIST >>TEMP.TXT',FULLPATH(CURDIR()),'MIN')
oProc.LaunchAppAndWait()
oProc = ''

You can now read TEMP.TXT as a normal text file, without the annoying DOS box popping up, and waiting until the command finishes running.
