Shell command doesn't give feedback until done

[Chipp Walters]

X,

This windows tip is a great one! Ken should put it in his sonsothunder 
website!

For those of you who have come lately, what Xavier has done is shown us 
how to use 'shell' in a non-blocking fashion. From what I gather, the 
below hack will shell out, then return instantly control to the object.

I suspect as long as 'hideconsolewindows' is true, you would never see 
any of it.

Cool.
