Hi again.
Before I published the shell.vim plug-in I tested my execute()
implementation by comparing the results of executing the interactive,
graphical program Notepad using Vim's system() function and my execute()
implementation, simply as a demonstration of a child process blocking
further input in Vim until the child process dies.
In the test above my execute() implementation works great, but my actual
goal with the execute() function is to run programs such as Exuberant
Ctags without waiting for them to finish AND without creating a command
prompt window. And of course I was stupid enough not to test my actual
use-case first... Turns out the code as it was would still create a
command prompt window to run command-line programs, it just appeared to
not show command prompt windows simply because Notepad is a GUI program!
I've uploaded a new release to www.vim.org that corrects this problem
and I've also changed the test instructions to more accurately reflect
the goals of the execute() implementation, you can find both at:
