Starting a console application

Hi

I'm starting up a (Delphi 2007 made) console application from a Delphi 2007
application.

What's the best way:

Currently I'm using

WinExec(PChar(MyPath + ' ' + MyParams), SW_SHOWNORMAL)

I'm aware of the pitfalls regarding the MyPath, my question is about
SW_SHOWNORMAL.

If I don't want the black DOS window to appear, can I safely use SW_HIDE
instead? Will the console application start up and do its thing without a
DOS window flashing on the screen?

It seems to be working ok...

Thanks
Jacob
