Hello Ralph,

Actually I do not need some specific code to achieve "Shell And Wait",
this is already supported by WshShell with the 3rd argument of the Run
method.

Set http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aew9yb99(v=VS.85).aspx

see also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5fk67ky(v=VS.85).aspx#CommunityContent

Here is an example:
'---------------------------- myscript.vbs ----------------------------
Dim oShell, iReturn
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Const iACTIVATE_AND_DISPLAY = 1

iReturn = oShell.Run("calc.exe",iACTIVATE_AND_DISPLAY, True)

WScript.Echo "The end!"
'----------------------------------------------------------------------

In this example you will have the echo "The end!" only after exiting
calc.exe, so I do have a wait.

What I would like is that if I launch this script (let's call it
myscript.vbs) with the DOS command:

Rem -------------------------------------------------------------------
cscript myscript.vbs
Rem -------------------------------------------------------------------

Then any output made to the standard output by the application (C) goes
to the same DOS window (A) under which I launched cscript (B), just
like "The end!" is output by the script (B) to this DOS window (A).

Note that in the example above the application (C) is is just calc.exe
but in reality that would be some console application.

Hopefully my question is clear now...

   Vincent.
