That's unfortunate. Given this, I guess the best solution is to provide a delay after helperw is started, as in RUN=helperw.exe CALL=CMD.EXE /C \DELAYFOR.CMD 2 or if it is too soon to run a REXX script the delay will need to be implemented by an executable as in RUN=helperw.exe CALL=\DELAYFOR.EXE 2 If helperw has a public interface, the delay app could determine if helperw is loaded and ready.
