Subject: exec (new process or new thread?) to continue

Hi,

I have fired off an exe with the kernal method exec

loader_app = "#{Dir.getwd}/PublishUi.exe"
exec(loader_app)

The exec method seems to hold up the process

so

exec(loader_app)
puts "we got here"

Will not print "we got here" till I close the app.

I am not sure whether I should use a new thread or a new process here,
or whether there is an alternative.

Thanks

Aidy
