question if you really want to kill the application, Vim may be killed too!
(This does not apply to commands run asynchronously with ":!start".)
-In Windows 95, the window in which the commands are executed is always 25x80
-characters, to be as DOS compatible as possible (this matters!). The default
-system font is used. On NT, the window will be the default you have set up for
-"Console" in Control Panel. On Win32s, the properties of the DOS box are

-If you get a dialog that says "This program is set to run in MS-DOS mode..."
-when you run an external program, you can solve this by changing the
-properties of the associated shortcut:
-- Use a Windows Explorer to find the command.com that is used. It can be
- c:\command.com, c:\dos\command.com, c:\windows\command.com, etc.
-- With the right mouse button, select properties of this command.com.
-- In the Program tab select "Advanced".
-- Unselect "MS-DOS mode".
-- Click "OK" twice.

*win32-!start*
Normally, Vim waits for a command to complete before continuing (this makes
sense for most shell commands which produce output for Vim to use). If you
want Vim to start a program and return immediately, you can use the following
-syntax on W95 & NT: >
+syntax: >
:!start [/min] {command}
The optional "/min" causes the window to be minimized.
-On Win32s, you will have to go to another window instead. Don't forget that
-you must tell Windows 3.1x to keep executing a DOS command in the background
-while you switch back to Vim.
