[Gambas-user] Executing Shell command (also applies to Exec command), FMain form goes blank

[John Rose]

I was not trying to blame you earlier: I was trying to say that it was
my fault for not communicating my requirements accurately to you. I have
read the documentation on both the Shell & Exec commands a number of
times. 

Using the first form of the Shell command without 'To sOutput' results
in the get_iplayer command executing (i.e. the relevant video file is
downloaded from the BBC's iPlayer website) but it happens in the
background i.e. the Gambas app carries on with the following (i.e. after
Shell) commands: which is not what I want (i.e. I want it to wait till
all of the video file is downloaded). So the obvious solution to that is
to use the Wait parameter i.e. the command becomes 
'Shell sInstruction Wait'. However, this also leads to the blank FMain
window.
