I'm using the run-shell-command under Windows NT with Allegro 5.01

How can I get it to wait for the console process to finish before it
continues processing the lisp commands?

Thx
T.

Did you try using the keyword argument :wait?
   eg (sys::run-shell-command "foo.exe" :wait t)

The :wait key seems to work for running executables, but
it doesn't seem to work (or maybe I'm using it wrong) for
command line things.
eg (run-shell-command "cmd /c start cmd /k dir" :wait t)

Lisp returns immediately, even when the dos console is still open.

"start" does that (runs the command in the background).
Try "cmd /c dir"
