The WAIT parameter that I've seen others mention on the list before is the /WAIT
option of the Win95/NT START command.  Execute your call system command using
"start /wait <program>" and your SQR program should suspend execution until the
called program completes.  I say should because I don't run SQR in Windows and
so haven't tried it myself.

Good luck,
