    From IB Joe@1:342/200 to All on Thu Mar 10 06:07:51 2022
    I recall from some time ago... not sure if it was Windows or OS/2 where you could spawn a new window to send a task/process there while the batch file moved on...

    Does this exists ??

    Both had them.

    In Windows its just the Start command.

    In OS/2 someone wrote a little freeware util called H-Start.

    Yes. The /MIN parameter.

    ie. START /MIN C:\BBS\RUNTHIS.BAT
