    I'm using PyPE 1.6.4 on Windows 98 and an MS-DOS window opens and then immediately closes each time I open a new file.  Is there any way to stop this behavior?

      A better question would be, "why does an MS-DOS console window open and close when opening a new doucment?"

      The window opening and closing is the result of PyPE starting up a process to do background parsing of newly opened documents.  I had attempted to do the same thing through the use of Threads, but unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with wxPython and threads, as I have posted to the wxwindows bug tracker here:
      http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=795590&group_id=9863&atid=109863

      The window pops up through my use of os.system.  After thinking about it for a while, I may be able to alleviate this.  We'll see what happens.

      I've fixed it in my version.  The changes will be there in the official version of PyPE 1.6.5, which will likely be released tomorrow.
