    There probably is - with VISUAL BASIC. But with VBScript, the answer is now.

    Unless, of course, you would be happy with having your script create a
    browser window having a minimize button.

    It sounds like you want to open a minimized command prompt window. If so,
    you can build in the following. If not, please provide more details about
    what you are trying to do.

    Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    WshShell.Run "%comspec%", 2

    Todd Vargo,
    First of all thank you for replying. I just wanted to
    use a Visual Basic script for Secure Crt. When i get a prompt window,
    i want to interact with the background process.

    Usually when i get a prompt window, i will not be able to do any other
    work within Secure Crt. I will have to choose yes or no.

    So i want a script which will send a prompt window, but at the same
    time has minimize button. So that i can minimize and continue my work.
