I need Run's I/O flag, but RunWait's ability to wait. What am I missing?

OK, I am sure there is either something easy I am missing or some veteran trick here.

I need my script to wait for my process to finish, so I figured RunWait. However, I need to be able to capture the output as Run would allow.

What am I overlooking?

Use Run() in stead of RunWait() ... the example will demonstrate how it all works .

Something like this:

$PID = Run(@WindowsDir & "\notepad.exe")
$idx = 0

While ProcessExists($PID)
    $idx += 1
    ConsoleWrite("Do something : " & StringFormat("%04s" & @LF,$idx))
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

That did the trick, bluebearr! I knew it was something simple.
