richie...
re-inventing this is not.
but indeed wsh-shell inside kixomatic made me remember this old topic...

so, what is the output here is that wkix32.exe shouldn't be used for multiprocess environments where console output is needed.
k.

the suggestion part then...
give us more control over the console.
the current way, for shell example, being command and all, no good.
but lets say, if it would be function:
shellEx(PROGRAM TO RUN, ARGUMENTS, RUN ALONE SWITCH (detach), VISIBILITY SWITCH)

or alike.
quess I need to start a new thread.
too many things combined under this one.
