Hello all,

This may not be the right place to ask this, but I'm writing my own little frontend for dosbox in freebasic for windows. To run the games I'm using the method described here: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBoxShortcuts. Dosbox launches fine and the game is started but as soon as that happens dosbox loses focus and control is returned to my frontend program. Does dosbox return something like an exit code when you start a game that would possibly cause my frontend to think the program has closed? Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance!
