How can I get the DOS return code without having to wait.

for example:
run programX and don't wait for it to exit
do other things
get the return code once programX exit

VDS is only single threaded so you will have to wait.

- OR -

Pipe the output of your Dos app to a text file and have your VDS app check the text file when you want it to.

Code:
# Run your Dos app without the wait option
runh cmd /C "yourdosapp.exe [switches] >somepath\yourdosappoutput.txt"
# Do some other stuff
# Later load yourdosappoutput.txt into a list and process through it.
