Ben,
I am new to this list snd just saw your previous message on the new
message board. There showed to be no responses. Here is one.

Try starting your windows command with the external DOS command Start.
Use the /w option, wait until program exit. The command line would look
this:
Start /w program [args...]

Type Start /? at the DOS prompt to see all four options for Start.

I hope this info helps, though it is probably too late by now.
