Doug, are you using "open process <app>" or "open process <app> for 
neither"? If you're not using the "for neither" form, give that a try. 
If that doesn't work, the only other thing I can think of is either (a) 
creating a .vbs file that launches the command-line app and then 
execute the VBS from Rev, or (b) write a "launcher" stub application 
with C++/VB/etc. and execute that from Rev, which in turn would launch 
your command line app.

Am I correct that you actually want to *show* the black terminal window 
with your text? Or do you just want to execute the code in your 
command-line program? Because if you don't want to show the terminal 
window, couldn't you just use "shell()" to run your command-line app?

Just curious,
