>RUN /N is the window's equivalent, I know, but, I want the application to wait until the other application has done it's stuff.

>For example, if I have a file, and call notepad with RUN/! to edit that file, and in the next couple lines assign the text of that file to a text box, I can't do that with run, or run /n

>Run without the /n waits for a bit, then closes the dos window, and keeps on executing, and run /n doesn't wait at all. I want it to wait until I'm done.
