Duh! You're quite right. fork(), execl() and friends are a bit

mystery to me, but we were already waiting for the child to exit on
Linux. Now I just need to get that working on Windows. Next questions:
Is there a useful role for a non-waiting variant of "!" on Linux? Which
should be the default, waiting or
non-waiting?
Waiting!
In principle I can also see the use for non-waiting (like start a pdf
viewer, and don't wait until it is closed again), but until somebody
requests it I wouldn't bother (if I were you).
But getting the waiting to work on Windows would be very nice, otherwise
I lose the cross-platformness of my py4gretl... Unfortunately I don't
know anything about that stuff.
