Thank you Marc. I adapted the solution found here:
http://www.computing.net/answers/dos/run-batch-file-invisiblestealth/14270.html
to produce a completely silent batch file runner.
The solution is to create a single line VBS program like this:
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
and then LAUNCH that VBS program from R:Base, passing the name of the batch
file (or other command line) as the argument. I called my VBS script
"launcher.vbs".
So in my program I replaced:
LAUNCH SendFax.BAT
with
LAUNCH launcher.vbs|SendFax.BAT
The VBS doesn't create a DOS console, and the Shell command inside the VBS
doesn't either.
