If you're using BlitzPlus, you can use CreateProcess.

Not sure about the 'multiple files without it popping on and off' part, but you can use ExecFile to run an exe with commandline keys. Example. ExecFile Chr$ ( 34 ) + "C:\Program Files\Blitz3D\bin\blitzcc.exe" + Chr$ ( 34 ) + " -h" Should run the Blitz 3D compiler and show the commandline help.

He's referring to the command window popping up and disappearing.
