Ben,

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your problem but if you're just spawning wget
then adding the /sh keyword might fix most of your problems.

e.g.:

url=' http://www.google.co.uk/webhp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=e n&q=&tab=iw'

spawn,'wget '+url ; doesn't work
spawn,'wget '+url,/sh ; works

Thanks,

Allan
