call/console in Windows opens the console window anyway

 [1/3] from: kracik::mbox::dkm::cz at: 19-Apr-2001 19:42


Hi, when calling external program from View/Pro for Windows with call/console, both input and output are correctly redirected to REBOL graphics console. But an empty DOS/Windows console window still appears. Is this the correct behaviour or a bug? Other Windows programs that redirect to their graphical consoles (WinCVS, Visual C++) don't do this. -- Michal Kracik Holger Kruse wrote:

I reported this behavior during the /command beta testing period. It was bothersome to me also... but maybe just a matter of personal preference since the script continues running and does not crash (not a bug - a feature) However, I noticed in /command that the window IS SUPPRESSED when calling a DOS command (like PING, DIR, TRACERT, etc.) WHEN RUN as a CGI script. YMMD (your mileage may differ) -dv-

This "bad" behavior is in Rebol/Command too. Michal Kracik wrote:
