msiShellAndWait and SHELL - need help!

I  need a routine that shells to a program and waits till it's done to return to my VB application.
I really like     msiShellAndWait(ByVal CommandLine As String)     but it makes a
Windows Dos Box for DOS programs  (Works perfect for Win programs).

I don't want a Windows DOS box. I want it to drop to FULL SCREEN DOS like
you were at the prompt. This way when I launch a DOS program you can't tell
your in windows.
Key is, it has to be a routine that lets my program Know when the DOS app is done.

Anyway to make    msiShellAndWait(ByVal CommandLine As String)    work in
FULL SCREEN DOS ?  Or do I have to use another routine?
