VFP 6 - problem with RUN command

I have a program that builds a batch file on the fly, then executes it:

RUN /n mybatchfile.bat

If I place a SUSPEND command immediately before the RUN command, then in
the debugger, STEP, it works just fine, but under program control it
just blips by so quickly I cannot see what it's doing.

I even went so far as to make the batch file contain one line

PAUSE

which should just display a message asking me to press a key to
continue, but even that doesn't work.

This behavior is exhibited on two different machines, so I confess to
being stumped - any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
