Actually i want the WAIT word.

I want to WAIT until the command is finished but in meanwhile i want to
be capable to read the stdout.

i also tried a clumsy solution like that,

  hProcess1 = SHELL sCommand FOR INPUT OUTPUT AS "AntiVirRun"
  WHILE (hProcess1.Running)
  WEND

but also have no success to read the stdout with AntiVirRun_Read()
