how to run a DOS program without getting a box?

[Richard Dobson]

Hi all,

I have tried both os.system() and the exec~ calls, and they all cause
the Windows console to display when running a command-line program (in
my case, to play a soundfile I don't need to see the screen messages).
Is there a way to suppress this? Other languages, such as tcl/tk and GNU
Octave manage this fine. I'm using Python 2.0 under Windows2000 (sp1),
with IDLE.
