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.
