Is it possible to return LISP after executing another application through LISP
Hi, you shouldn't label your topic "Help" - not very informative... You said "return LISP" did you mean "return to LISP"? If you meant something else like return a value to LISP then more details would be helpful. There are a number of ways to execute another application via LISP and wait for it to complete. If the command line is complicated it might be easier to put it in a batch file (.bat or .cmd) and then execute the batch file. There is the dos_execute function in the doslib functions. (dos_execute "temp.cmd") or (command "shell" "test.cmd") you can also try the (startapp ...) LISP function also look at the START.EXE program options. Open a DOS prompt window and type START /?
