DOS window and shell function

[Devin Asay]

I'm doing a project in which I need to call a DOS shell script. It all  
works great, but the DOS terminal window briefly appears and  
disappears. This doesn't happen in OS X--the shell script just  
executes silently. Does anyone know if there is a way to get rid of  
the annoying DOS terminal window flash? (Win XP, Rev 3.0)

Thanks,

Devin
