Also take a look at (the undocumented) PUB.FreeProcess.

thanks everyone :) i tried search and it didnt come up with that thanks again

What if you don't want your Blitz program to wait for the new process to end, but also don't want the new process to end if your Blitz program does either? Is there a way to do that (on all three platforms, I *think* I know how to do it in a Win32-specific way)?
