BlitzPlus and Command Line output

You are doing the right thing by using cmd.exe , however cmd.exe can take a few arguments itself.

e.g. c$="cmd.exe /c dir"
ExecFile(c$)

will do a dir then immediatley close the console. the /c is a switch that closes the console. Can't remember any other switches but there are a few. Fiddle around with it.
