That's the thing, variation. Folks are going to want to use it in different way. We have some interesting things I found to address...
1) SHELL _HIDE without START hangs and you have to close it with Task manager. That's why I went with SHELL _HIDE with START added.
2) SHELL _DONTWAIT is a viable alternative. Seems to work the same and establishes the connection when the client window appears.
3) Do we need SHELL? No. Folks can just open both programs. The host will wait until the client is opened, without any code modification.
For James I'm not quite sure what you want to build with it, but the communication back is being made by that -1 value of the task_complete variable. I mean it sounds to me like you are looking for a demo where the host sends a memo to the client. and then the client sends a memo back.
