Hello, I'd like to know how to start one process, then have the program run
another process in the background. It seems as though system_exec() and system()
both wait for the process called by them to finish execution before letting your
process resume tasks. Is there a way to call a process and let yours continue
without Win32Lib.ew? Or, does win32lib's ShellExecute functions do just that?
Thanks!

Louis:
ShellExecute and ShellExecuteEx are windows functions and can be
used without using Win32Lib if you know how to define and call
"C" functions from Euphoria.

system("start my_prog.exw", 0) should allow both to work independently,
Louis.
