When using the Start command, the first parm is expected to be the window title. In testing, I found that the /Wait switch was needed. Here is a bit of test code.
Code:
break on
Shell 'cmd /c start /wait "waiting" "C:\Documents and Settings\LLigetfa\My Documents\Expense Reports\Thorold.xls"'
;Shell 'cmd /c start "waiting" "C:\Documents and Settings\LLigetfa\My Documents\Expense Reports\Thorold.xls"'

'hit any key' ?
get $
'done' ?
