It is ages since I've been programming so apologies if this is a silly
question.

Is there a way to call GhostScript from inside a BASIC program and return
control to the BASIC program afterwards?  I've just tried invoking
GhostScript from a program using an OSCLI command but although
GhostScript then runs correctly it does not hand back control to the
BASIC program which just ends.  I think I understand why it is happening
but is there any way to get around it?
