safe shell command

[Alex Rice]

I have gleaned these tidbits from the list. Can anyone add to this code 
for making sure the shell command is going to run correctly, minimized 
on all windows variants? Does anyone know if Win XP has one of these 
two variants or does it have another "command" command?

on startup
  if the platform is "win32" then
     put the shellCommand into tShellCmd
     if matchText(tShellCmd, "command\.com$") then
       put space & "/m" after tShellCmd
       set the shellCommand to tShellCmd
     else if matchText(tShellCmd, "cmd\.exe$") then
       put space & "/MIN" after tShellCmd
       set the shellCommand to tShellCmd
     end if
   end if
end startup

Thanks in advance
