[WIN] "system" command flashes dos boxes

When I use the "system" command in a Windows program to do some file copy's
and delete's, it causes dos boxes to flash on & off the screen, which I'd
rather not have happen; is there any way to do this without the dos boxes
flashing on & off?  They do go away on their own, but I'd rather not have
them flashing distractingly in the windows program.

example:
       system("copy ide_code.ew org_code.ew",2)
 <snip logic>
      system("del ide_code.ew",2 )
      system("copy alt_code.ew ide_code.ew",2 )
      system("exw.exe ide.exw", 2)

I'm making a Euphoria program to replace the batch files I included to use
to switch between my "auto-paste routines" variation on Judith/David's IDE
and her original.
