Steve,

The START command should run fine.  From some quick testing that I did here, if
the /B switch is all you used, and the batch file did not end with an EXIT, then
COMMAND.COM should show up on your task list (in other words, it won't exit
unless you tell it to).  The RC that is returned to your REXX program is from
START, not your batch file.  Is there any way that you can duplicate the
functionality of your DOS batch file using OS/2 and/or REXX?

Just doin' my best to help.

Barry
