System and SystemQQ calls

[Intel_C_Intel]

I need to do a system call from within an application that will run on W98,W2000,WNT,WXP. The CVF help says:

"On WNT systems, the calling process waits until the command terminates. On W9* systems, the calling process does not currently wait in all cases; however, this may change in future implementations."

Can anyone explain and provide a simple example of a case where a SYSTEM() call running on a W98 machine would not wait? My life would be simpler if I didn't need to figure out the Win32 API.

Well, no need to figure it out - I've done that for you!

I don't know the details as to what the W9x problem is.
