Default Open an Excel Workbook from either a BAT (or VBS) without pausing.

I am trying exec a BAT file with the contains:
==========
REM (call_XLS.BAT)
"example 1.xls"
exit
==========
But once it startes Excel, a command prompt window remains open until I
close Excel. Is there a way to have this close right away once Excel is
started?

I am actulay calling this from a PC REXX program and se no reason I could
not call the "example 1.xls" from a VBS file is that would be easier. I just
want Excel to open the Workbook without leaving the spawning window open.
