Waiting for Applications to Finish
When you start an OS/2 Presentation Manager application from the prompt,
the command processor does not normally wait for the application to finish
before returning to the prompt. This default behavior allows you to
continue your work at the prompt while the application is running. You
can force CMD.EXE to wait for applications to finish before continuing by
selecting the "Wait for Completion" option on the Options 2 page of the
OPTION dialogs, with the ExecWait directive in the .INI file, or with the
START command's /WAIT switch (you can also use START to control many other
aspects of how your applications are started).
Regardless of the ExecWait setting, CMD.EXE always waits for applications
which are run from batch files before continuing with subsequent commands
in the batch file. To start an application from a batch file and continue
with the batch file immediately, without waiting for the application to
finish, use the START command (without the /WAIT switch).
