launching apps in background

[slavko milekic]

Hi list,

I have a problem launching an application (Win 98 environment) in the 
background using the shell function:

if I use:

get shell("C:\volume\folder\app.exe") nothing happens

using, launch("C:\volume\folder\app.exe") the application is launched but 
in the foreground...

any suggestions?  TIA
