How do I go about the following:

I know how to run a exe from within Darkbasic, but I want to run a exe then when the exe that I launch runs I want darkbasic to wait til the exe closes to return to darkbasic.

Basically I want to run a steam game from within darkbasic kinda like a frontend.

Use HIDE WINDOW to hide DBPro, EXECUTE FILE to run your executable (don't forget to set the 'wait' flag), then SHOW WINDOW.
