- I'm not sure what you mean by "on the fly" but you can use the START command
- to kick off a background process via the /B option. You can create an object
- that starts a command processor, File Name of '*', and specify parameters like
- "/C START /B prog.exe" to start the background session without calling up a
- new window.
