I changed "if" to "else if" in the patch, so /min and /b couldn't be
used at the same time. And wrote some documentation. Please be patient
reading it, I think there are a lot mistakes in my English :-(.

A. Edit SYSTEM.INI and add 'ScreenLines=50' to the [NonWindowsApp]
section. DOS
prompts and external DOS commands will now run in a 50-line
window.
+Q. I don't want to see programs that I run asynchronously. What
should I do?
+A. You have two possible solutions depending on what exactly do you
want:
+ 1) You may use /min flag that would run program in minimized state
with no
+ other changes. It will work equally for console and GUI
applications.
+ 2) You can use /b flag to run console applications without
creating console
+ window for them (GUI applications are not affected). But you
should use
+ this flag only if application you run doesn't require any
input.
+ Otherwise it will get an EOF error because it's input stream
(stdin)
+ would be redirected to \\.\NUL (stdour and stderr too).
+ Also remember that you should use only one of these flags at a
time.
+ Otherwise second one would be treated as start of an execution
name.
+
+ Example for console application:
+ If you have Exuberant ctags try to run this: >
+ :!start /min ctags -R .
+< now you should see file named "tags" in your current directory.
You should
+ noticed blinking on your taskbar. Now delete the "tags" file and
run this
+ command: >
+ :!start /b ctags -R .
+< you should have the same "tags" file, but this time there must be
no
+ blinking on the taskbar.
+ Example for GUI application (notepad): >
+ :!start /min notepad
+ :!start /b notepad
+< the first command runs notepad minimized and the second one runs
it
+ normally.
