    Here's another reason why ARP shouldn't go unchecked !! There's a
    "replacement" for Execute() called ASyncRun(), which works in a
    similar maner but returns the "childs" exit code. ARP also have
    the capabilities of parsing your CLI command line if you just
    pass it a template, other capabilities/features exist as well.
    Use SyncRun() if you need syncronicity. Check TransAmi #3 for
    details. (I've got the UK edition, so I don't know if it's in
    the OTHER one, it ought to be... B^)
