With the hint from Bill Burton re: windows scripting host & Windows 2000, I
was able to build a quick script that does indeed launch a separate command
window.
To avoid setting off any virus detectors that purge VBS attachments for
messages, I'm including the script as inline text. Obviuosly, you'll need to
cut between the "---" and save as "launch.vbs" somewhere in your path.

Dim WSHShell,argCount,exeStr
set WSHShell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
argCount=0
exeStr="cmd /c"
while argCount < wscript.arguments.count
exeStr = exeStr + " " + wscript.arguments(argCount)
argCount = argCount + 1
wend
WSHShell.run(exeStr)

then using it is as simple (relatively speaking) as following this example:
---
<target name="startWLS">
<exec dir="${install.dir}" executable="cmd"
os="Windows 2000">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="launch.vbs"/>
<arg value="start"/>
<arg value="startWebLogic.cmd"/>
</exec>
</target>
