After consulting with Robert Edwards who wrote those functions and was hosting them on his site, I hade to break the links until these pages are restored on Bob's site. As we developed this section with the idea of sharing the hosting duties, I have, of course, not kept them in an archive. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Some kind of ExecuteAndWait! Bill Thoen gave me an easy solution: If using a command line I could add the /wait parameter. Why didn't I think of this myself ? John Spotten pointed me to Jacques Paris website (http://www.paris-pc-gis.com) where I could find an implementation of the ExecuteAndWait functionality. Unfortunately the link to the site where this example was placed was broken, so I was not able to retrieve this example. Have you fixed it, Jacques ? The ultimate solution came from Bo Thomsen who had packed the API functions into a simple and easy to use Delphi DLL which very easily could be called from within MapBasic. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll send you the DLL and sample code - upload it to directionsmag. Bo has allowed it. Thanks Bo. Martin Higham, Mickey Feldman and Ian Thomas also gave me some comments and ideas. Thank you all.
