I created a directory 'start' and placed in it 'wait.bat',
then executed two lines from the command shell:
   start\wait notepad.exe
ran the batch file, but
   start/wait notepad.exe
ran notepad.exe synchronously.

Now I need to do the same with CreateProcess to see what happens;
that will tell us whether we need to fix just wcmd, or also
the system calls.
