About executing DOS programs in a VB program...

I'm doing that using Shell("voltd.exe >voltd.out", 1) right now (I
think the quotes are required because of the redirect). There is a
problem knowing when the program is done running. I hear Microsoft
has a solution on their web site, but I haven't had time to look it up
-- I'm just using a delay loop.
It works fine on Windows NT, but when I tried it on another machine
running Win3.1 it just bombed out to DOS, no warning or error message.
Anybody have any ideas on this?
