The white screen thingy is more a problem with Kixtart than with Kixforms ... because we have to use the "shell" command (and the shell command waits for the process to finish) and because there is only one thread of execution in a kixscript ... the GUI refreshing suffers.

To solve this, i have started working on a Kixforms version of the SHELL command - it behaves just like the Kixtart shell command except that it also keeps the form fresh and alive. Its already been coded but needs some more work and testing, it looks like this:

$rc = $Form.Shell("%comspec% /c dir *.*")

Thats the current way anyways - all I can say about this is stay tuned for the next release.
