Default External function call

I'm haing a problem calling an external DOS app in certain
version of Windows. I've written a macro which calls
a .bat file. The relevant code is:

varPuttyUpload = Shell("c:\opt_mist1
\ssh\mist1_mist1upload.bat", 0)
AppActivate varPuttyUpload

It runs fine on a Win98 box but I run into problems on a
Win2000Pro or XP box. Changing the parameter from 0 to 1
has no effect.

Any suggestions?

thanks
