DOS box

Greetings!

Is there any way to force EX.EXE to operate within a window?  No matter
what I try, it always goes full screen, even resetting PIF settings to full
screen.  Even bound ex programs behave this way, regardless of PIF
settings.  I had created several small utilities in Euphoria which I
intended to run from batch programs.  I had to abandon them for Quickbasic
4.5 based exes which will run inside the DOS box and allow access to other
programs and the start menu.  I tried exw.exe too, but it is no better.
Any output from exw routines goes into a new dos box which jumps open and
then snaps closed on termination.  I need the results to go into the
original dos box running the batch file, like MOVE.EXE, CHOICE.COM, etc.
work.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
John Cannon
