Spawning a process without waiting for a return

Hello, is it possible to use the Euphoria task handling to spawn other processes, without the main Euphoria program waiting for those processes? The spawned processes should have seperate process id's as if they were seperate programs. In fact the spawned processes may still be executing while the main Euphoria program is complete. I need to do this in the Windows 7 and XP environments, to test some wacky customer batch sheduling system that does this ;)
Both system() and system_exec() wait for the invoked process to finish. Even specifying system("call program_name") waits. I found a solution in the archive that uses dos interrupts, but thats obsolete :(
Any suggestions, even if it is not done through Euphoria tasks? TIA
