I am using a shell command and setting the last parameter to true, so that the application will wait until the shelled program is closed before continuing.  This works fine except for the case where the user wants to view the original application, it becomes unviewable and the entire application turns white.  Does anybody know how to make the original application stay viewable while it waits?

Use a thread. If you're in 2.0 the background worker is simple to use and takes care of thread sincronization issues.
