Hi KM,
1) Thanks, I'll look into those.
2) Using "start cmd /K MyApp.exe" worked great - I wasn't using the
"start" part of it. ("communication between the apps using sockets" =
my apps use Windows Sockets to talk to each other. That's how our
final app must communicate with other software we must use for this
project).

Thank you very much for the help!
