ShellSpawn command

runs "command" as a shell command but unlike shell does not collect the output and does not wait for the operation to complete.

Example: 

make "WebBrowser   "|C:\\Progra\~1\\Intern\~1\\iexplore|
;	make "WebBrowser   "|C:\\bin\\netscape\\program\\netscape.exe|	;as another example
make "HTMLHelpDir   "C:\\aUCBLogo\\help

if not shellspawn (list (word :WebBrowser "| | :HTMLHelpDir "\\ "index.frame.html))
[	pr [File Not Found]
