I have the need to fire off a DOS program but I need know when it finishes. If I use the below code, the program kicks off just fine but it is in no wait mode so I have no idea when it finishes. If I remove the /N from the RUN statement in hopes that the FoxPro program with wait, the program crashes. Does anyone have any idea how I can make FoxPro wait for the DOS program? The help says something about .pif files but I do not know how to create or use these either.

SLIMCOMMANDLINE = 'SLIMBATCH ' + '/IMPORT=("' + m.assettextfilename ;
+ '","' + m.assetsisfilename + '")' ;
+ ' /IMPORT=("' + m.transtextfilename + '","'
+ m.transsisfilename + '")' ;
+ ' /TRUVP=("' + m.exportfilename + '")'

RUN /N &SLIMCOMMANDLINE

** Please and thank you in advance.
