QB64-PE/internal/help/_DONTWAIT.txt
SMcNeill 6e01fc8dce Altered string compare routines (<,<=,>,>=) so they don't give false results with CHR$(0).
Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons.
Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders.
Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

{{KW|_DONTWAIT}} is used with the {{KW|SHELL}} statement to specify that the program shouldn't wait until the SHELLed command/program is finished (which it otherwise does by default).
{{PageSyntax}}
:{{KW|SHELL}} [{{KW|_DONTWAIT}}] [{{Parameter|commandline$}}]
{{PageDescription}}
*Can only be used in the {{KW|SHELL}} statement when using '''QB64'''.
*Runs the command/program specified in {{Parameter|commandline$}} and lets the calling program continue at the same time in it's current screen format.
*Especially useful when CMD /C or START is used in a SHELL command line to run another program.
* '''QB64''' automatically uses CMD /C or COMMAND /C when using SHELL.
* '''QB64''' program screens will not get distorted or minimized like Qbasic fullscreen modes could.
