Dave,
Use help(system) to see command options.
You need to set minimized = T and/or invisible=T, I do not remember
exactly but one of those does the trick
system(command, intern = FALSE, ignore.stderr = FALSE,
wait = TRUE, input = NULL, show.output.on.console = TRUE,
minimized = FALSE, invisible = TRUE)

Dave,
Have you tried using the minimized option for the R system command?
Or if that doesnt work you could try calling system with a command like
this: "start /min nonmembatch.bat"
See http://www.computerhope.com/starthlp.htm for details of the DOS
start command.

Hi All,
I am using R to simulate protocol decision making and repeatedly call NONMEM -
via a system call - to perform the simulation. The problem with this is that
every time the system call is executed, the dos window pops up and cursor
control is taken from whatever else that I am working on - beyond annoying! I
am using Windows. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
I saw in the archives that Mark Sale (I believe) asked this question many years
ago, but it did not appear that a satisfactory answer was returned.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
