Invoking Windows Shell Functions
In order to invoke a Windows shell function (such as a batch file or executable) from APPX for Windows, follow these guidelines.
Making a Windows Session Sleep
Trying to build in a delay of 'x' number of seconds (or milliseconds)? Here's one way to do that, in a Windows environment.
RUN in Series or Parallel
When you RUN from APPX/Unix, APPX won't resume running until the shell object called has completed (series). When you RUN from APPX for Windows, the RUN command by default spawns a separate thread and APPX immediately resumes execution (parallel).

RUNning with WinAPPXD Servers
In APPX Client/Server, if you issue an ILF 'RUN' command, the program will run on the server, not the client. Since it is running on the server, you won't be able to see or interact with the program.
