How to close a DOS window?

[vmikeydet]

I've got a Visual FoxPro application that needs to open a DOS command window, run a FORTRAN program in the window, and provide the user the ability to cancel the FORTRAN program and close the DOS window. Currently, I'm using a ShellExecute call to run the FORTRAN program in a DOS window. The program can be canceled by manually selecting the DOS window and typing ctrl-c. Can I cancel the program and close the DOS window programatically with API calls? I'll be doing this from Visual FoxPro v7.

Thanks for any help.

You can do it using the CreateProcess and TerminateProcess API calls in VB.
