I recall from some time ago... not sure if it was Windows or OS/2 where you could spawn a new window to send a task/process there while the batch file moved on...

Does this exists ??

Both had them.

In Windows its just the Start command.

In OS/2 someone wrote a little freeware util called H-Start.
