Steven,

Here's the documentation for the WScript.Shell object.
Runs a program in a new process.

object.Run(strCommand, [intWindowStyle], [bWaitOnReturn]) 
Arguments
object 
WshShell object. 
strCommand 
String value indicating the command line you want to run. You must include any parameters you want to pass to the executable file. 
intWindowStyle 
Optional. Integer value indicating the appearance of the program's window. Note that not all programs make use of this information. 
bWaitOnReturn 
Optional. Boolean value indicating whether the script should wait for the program to finish executing before continuing to the next statement in your script. If set to true, script execution halts until the program finishes, and Run returns any error code returned by the program (0 for success). If set to false (the default), the Run method returns immediately after starting the program, automatically returning 0 (not to be interpreted as an error code).
The values for intWindowstyle are the same as for the RUN command in VFP.
