Hello Tim,

On Monday, March 17, 2003 at 2:20:49 AM you [TM]wrote (at least in
part):

PP>> ,-----= [  ] =-----

PP>> `-----=

TM> Thanks Peter, that did what I asked about! But I had to do it like this.

TM> ,----- [ Seems Win2k changed the syntax of 'start' ]
TM> | start "starting TB" "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" /MINIMIZE
TM> `-----

start "" "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" /MINIMIZE

Would do the same ... seems W2K-cmd need the "title", even if empty,
when parameters are about to be passed to "program" ...

TM> Any idea about figuring about when TB has finished closing?

start "" /wait "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" /MINIMIZE

will make the cmd-script wait until The Bat! finished. From outside
that script I don't know a way from the top of my memory as I don't
know a CLI program for accessing the process list, like 'ps' ...
