One other thing you can do for most shell commands... include an ampersand
after the command, i.e.:
get shell("mycommand myparam &")
Should return immediately and run in the background. Of course, you're still
stuck poking around for the return value, depending on what shell script you
are running.
If you wanted, you could send the result to a file:
get shell("mycommand myparam > file.out &")
