Get (External) Process Return Code

I know of OpenURL(), System_() and Pub.FreeProcess for running executables from BlitzMax, but I can't find any way to get the value the executable returns. How can I do that?

To clarify, System_ returns a value, but it's not the value I've been told to expect. So either it's returning something different, or I'm being sold a pup (again.)

launch.bmx:
Print system_("return.exe")


return.bmx:
exit_(10)

Ok, thanks, Zeke. I guess I have been sold a pup on what the program is supposed to return then.
