[About cmd's 'start "" /wait' command]

Here's an example GUI application that won't wait, no matter if it's on the command line or in a script:

at the command prompt:

> start "" /wait "c:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

=> DOESN'T WAIT

in a .cmd file:

start "" "c:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

or

start "" /wait "c:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

=> DOESN'T WAIT

i think it's a function of how the application is programmed to exit.
