Yes that will work but we would rather not run through the DOS shell for a couple of reasons.
1. We have to worry about the PIF file so that the DOS shell will clos automatically. This is not really that big of a deal but it leads to the 2nd issue which is really the bigger issue.
2. Out customers always seem to have a real problem whenever the a black screen that they are not used to seeing pops up and hopefully goes away.
