cmd$="C:List >nil: c:"+Chr$(10)+"endcli" #Why?#
cli$="con:0/0/0/0/GHelp/AUTO" #Why?#
If WriteFile(0,cli$) #Why?#
Execute_ &cmd$,0,0
CloseFile 0 #Why?#
EndIf #Why?#
If you don't want a CON: window, why are you deliberately opening one
then telling it not to open unless something is output (AUTO option)?
This would do the same thing:
cmd$="C:List >nil: c:" : Execute_ &cmd$,0,0
Here is an extract from a program I wrote to search/Sort/rename/delete mp3 files
(It is available at http://home.snafu.de/dcr/ ) It does nothing
until the executed program has finished. Maybe one of the programs
your calling detatches itself from the cli. That would cause
your program to continue running without the info it needs.

If path<>""
prt {"Scanning..."}
cmd.s="List "+Chr$($22)+path+Chr$($22)+" p=*.mp(2|3) files all"
cmd+" lformat= "+Chr$(34)+"%P%N"+Chr$(34)+" >T:Playlist_Ed.temp"
Execute_ &cmd,0,0
#; lots of code removed #
EndIf
RTS
BTW. Use JSR / RTS instead of Gosub / Return it gives u smaller faster exe's
