Bkgnd process that returns immediately

[Mark Powell]

  put "start /MAX C:\foo.html > C:\foo.txt" into MyCom	
  set the hideConsoleWindows to true	
  get  "start cmd /c"  && quote & MyCom & quote	
  get shell(it)

  use "start /b" to hide the window.


I have tried this, in both line 1 and line 3, and in various ordering.
But the console still flashes.  What am I doing wrong?  

What is the entire single line of script with the /b in the recommended
position?

Gratefully,

Mark
