asynchronous actions????

[Yennie at aol.com]

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 &")
