Well didn't see where Cyri was using KF. I can understand that the COM method is a bit different but visually, and speed wise there should be little difference.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is the issue of maybe namespace. Perhaps the COM method is more in tune with the namespace,path, and environment than just SHELL / RUN are. That would be nice to know for certain, but then again this is the first time I recall anyone ever complaining that SHELL/RUN could not run something and COM could. I would just like solid proof that this is the case and perhaps either have SHELL updated if possible or at least a mention of it in the Manual.
