Hi CK,

Try please:

integer i
i=1

system("START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL WINWORD.EXE", 2)
system("START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL NOTEPAD.EXE", 2)
-- works with exw.exe for me without hanging

system("CMD /C \"START /DC:\\ /MIN /NORMAL WINWORD.EXE\"", 2)
-- works with ex.exe and with exw.exe for me without hanging too

position(2,1)
? i

while get_key()=-1 do
end while

Try also in Windows console:

start /?

then

cmd /?
