With cscript.exe the anticipated output is directed to an MS-DOS window (the console). Wscript, however, utilizes some graphical capabilities that cscript cannot. IOW, the output engines are different.

There are several reasons why I tend to suggest the Shell's Run method over the native VFP RUN command. First, since it wraps a call to ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx, you just pass it the file name and don't have to be concerned over what application the file is associated with. Another is the ability to wait for the other application to terminate prior to executing any following code. This can be especially useful when, say, using a script to copy either a lot of files or a very large one.
