On WIndows 10, running Python programs in a DOS box,
Please don't use 'DOS box' for Windows Command Prompt or other Windows

program for running (old) DOS programs written for the IBM PC. One
use is running old games, such as some distributed by GOG. Note that
interactive command line interpreters existed long before MS/PC DOS.
Sorry, I was unintentionally using misleading terminology. I was
running programs in a cmd.exe window.
I would like one Python program to chain to another. I.e. the first
program to be replaced by the second (*not* waiting for the second to
finish, as with e.g. os.system).
For reasons explained especially well by Eryk Sun, you should probably
use one python program as a master program to run others in succession.
Yes, thats's what I'm doing now.
Thanks
