Hi Chris,

that I've used with Win98/SE for over a decade that launches two additional
programs when starting my firewall so that I just have to click on one icon
instead of three:

> CALL "C:\PROGRAM FILES\(PROGRAM A)"
> CALL "C:\PROGRAM FILES\(PROGRAM B)"
> ECHO OFF
> EXIT
The OS/2 version would be
detach "C:\PROGRAM FILES\(PROGRAM A)"
detach "C:\PROGRAM FILES\(PROGRAM B)"
exit
what you want to do is detach the program your
calling program as its either not exiting itself, or
its not passing control back to the calling process/batch
file.
I'm forgot so much about Microsoft Windows but
I think the START command could be what you
are looking for instead of using CALL.
I could be wrong to as is been so long, like decades :)
Cheers
