Opening a new command line instance
-
Hi everyone, Is there any way I can start a *new dos prompt instance from dos? So basically I have a dos window open but I want to be able to then have 2 windows open so create another instance. Any way that can be done in C++? I tried to research the cmd.exe command but it doesn't start a whole new window. Anyone can help on this? Armond

Sounds like you're asking a C++ question, which belongs in the Visual C++ forum. If you want to use .NET, this is the place to ask.

does 'start cmd' the trick for you? (type 'help start' to see the options of the start command) greetings, ralf.
