Sorry, David, I may not be thinking clearly so try to bear with me. Please keep in mind that this is under Win98SE as well.

If you launch a DOS app directly by double clicking it in Explorer, after it terminatest, you have to manually close the window. However, if you launch it from a shortcut (in the case of a DOS program a PIF file), you can specify to close the window when it terminates, if you don't it stays open. Tim had said that it's a 32 bit program, and I don't know if that makes a difference.

If this is the case (namely that the window doesn't close), I would guess that you'd launch it via a short cut rather than passing the executable name. Also, I just realized I never tried to launch a DOS app with the WSH.
