I'm not real sure what you're trying to do, but... you could use
"dos/nv/x/z /c start ..." or "dos/nv/x/z cmd.exe[command.com in 9x] /c start
...". As soon as the child process STARTs, the DOS shell should terminate and
revert to XyWrite and the control of your XPL program. The difference with
your command is the "/c".

Or, if you want to manage this programmatically, XyShell's SW[itch] command can
auto-toggle you to another running process (perhaps after a period of time
dictated by "BX p [seconds_to_pause]Q2 ").
