Well, I'm looking into os.spawnl with os.P_WAIT, now.

Thanks,

Are you sure it isn't just running very quickly?
The time it takes to display stuff on a screen is significant - all
those 
phosphorescent pixels :-)

os.system doesn't have to wait for that so it tends to run programs 
much faster than normal...

Just a thought,
