Same goes for myself.  I have had a few minor reports of the "start..."
script (see the archives) failing on some versions of Win98 (ME?), but I've
never had a report of the console window being visible.

BTW, in the MC docs, it states to use "command.exe" for all non-NT versions
of Windows, and "cmd.exe" for the NT/2K/XP versions.
