    Stop my prog running while i call another using Shell

    Hi guys,
    I want to run an external app from mine, but i want to finish running the external program before execution continues on mine. I am currently using the Shell command to run it, but my program keeps executing. Is there some way to stop my program running until the other program finishes?
    We don't know what's wrong. . . So the best bet might be to remove something surgically.

    There should be a few examples of this in the forums if you do a search.

    I know i've put an example in here somewhere. Use the search and see what you come up with.
