Run command: how to wait until its done

[alincon]

What is a better way to wait for the program called by the 'run' command?


insert code here WindowWidth = 200 : WindowHeight = 400

run "notepad "+chr$(34)+"c:\libbas\_mylibbas\diary\categories.dat"+chr$(34)

notice "Category update"
  'this is only to wait until user has edited the file

c = 0

open "categories.dat" for input as #ctgy

while eof(#ctgy) = 0

c = c + 1

input #ctgy, ctgy$(c)

wend

close #ctgy

sort ctgy$(),1,c

#main.combobox1, "reload"

wait

I hope LB5 has a 'wait' parameter for the run command. Some other basics do.

Will running a separate TKN , wich runs notepad, would be of help?
