Spawning without a cmd.exe window [message #85252]

This is a question from someone who uses Windows about once a year.

I want to spawn from IDL to an external executable

spawn,'E:\ds9\ds9.exe'

and it works fine as the ds9 program is displayed. But I also get a cmd.exe window (which goes away when I exit the ds9 program). Is there a way to have the cmd.exe window not appear or to have it hidden?

Thanks, --Wayne
