Mmm, I thought the same for SHELL; some old basic and perhaps VB had 
this instruction (or it was SYSTEM?), which waited for the command 
completion (perhaps because there was not the background feature).

For EXEC, the way it is now seems to me more appropriate in a unix 
environment. To change things would break compatibility with old sources...
