+ with :!start do not get passed Vim's open file handles, which means they do
+ not have to be closed before Vim.
+ To avoid this special treatment, use ":! start".
+! There are two optional arguments (see the next Q):
+! /min the window will be minimized.
+! /b" no console window will be opened
+! You can only one of these flags at a time. A second second one will be
+! treated as the start of the command.
+!
+! Q. How do I avoid getting a window for programs that I run asynchronously?
+! A. You have two possible solutions depending on what exactly do you want:
+! 1) You may use the /min flag that would run program in minimized state with
+! no other changes. It will work equally for console and GUI applications.
+! 2) You can use /b flag to run console applications without creating a
+! console window for them (GUI applications are not affected). But you
+! should use this flag only if application you run doesn't require any
+! input. Otherwise it will get an EOF error because it's input stream
+! (stdin) would be redirected to \\.\NUL (stdour and stderr too).
+!
+! Example for a console application, run Exuberant ctags: >
+! :!start /min ctags -R .
+! < When it has finished you should see file named "tags" in your current
+! directory. You should notice the window title blinking on your taskbar.
+! This is more noticable for commands that take longer.
+! Now delete the "tags" file and run this command: >
+! :!start /b ctags -R .
+! < You should have the same "tags" file, but this time there will be no
+! blinking on the taskbar.
+! Example for a GUI application: >
+! :!start /min notepad
+! :!start /b notepad
+! < The first command runs notepad minimized and the second one runs it
+! normally.
+
+ Q. I'm using Win32s, and when I try to run an external command like "make",
+ Vim doesn't wait for it to finish! Help!
