I open my applications within a NT DOS window.

[ponder]Is it possible to open a second window from within my application and 'RUN' another application in the new window and return to my original window upon "QUIT" in the second program?
 
Would
Code:
RUN "start cmd"
be for you?

This would abviously only work on NT-based Windows versions,
replace "cmd" with "command" for use on Win9x based OS's.
Insert "/w" between start and cmd to make the second DOS box 'modal' to the first one, as it should wait for the second box to quit before continuing.
