close PbDos program after Run PbCC or PbWin program

[Giuseppe Belziti]

When I run a PbWin program from a PbDos program:
- if I use EXECUTE the PbDos program remains visible and it is closed when then PbWin program is closed;
- if I use RUN then PbWin program do not start.
Can I to resolve this problem?

I should want that, when my PbDos program calla a PbWin or a PbCC program, the PbDos program is closed.

You could try...

SHELL "start programname [params]"
SYSTEM

I think 'start' returns immediately after programname is launched.

If that does not work, you could try RUN or EXECUTE of a batch file followed by SYSTEM. You might need to end that batch file with 'EXIT'

The thing is, the ms-dos program is already running a copy of the command processor, so you might have to start the ms-dos program with "CMD /K ms-dos-programname.exe" to get the command processor used for the dos program to end.

Some things to try, anyway.

Thanks Michael for good idea.
This is the modify that I have done:

SHELL"CMD /C START programname.EXE"
END

now all is OK.
