Regarding shell commands and LiveCode....
I've noticed that under OS X, invocation of a shell command is silent. But
under Windows, you see a CMD window quickly pop up and disappear. I haven't
found any options to prevent the shell command popping up under Windows, but
wondered if anyone knew of a way to prevent it from happening.
Thanks,
John
