qb64/internal/help/_DONTWAIT.txt
Luke Ceddia b586eafd3b Integrated _BLINEINPUT into regular LINE INPUT for BINARY files
LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle
that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command
has been removed.

qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files,
at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt
was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing
the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's
smoothed over.

Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

{{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.
