From a MSDOS batch script under WinXP I want to call (=Start) an external program say aaaa.exe
with GUI interface.
with GUI interface.
When I siply enter the line
aaaa.exe
in the script then this prgm is call but script stops execution until the program is exit.
How can I call/start the program but continue with the script?

That requires co-processing/multitasking. DOS wasn't designed for that.

To e-mail me, add the character zero to "dowcom". i.e.:
dowcom(zero)(at)webtv(dot)net.
The fact that 'conventional wisdom' is indeed 'conventional',
does not, in any way, imply that it is wise.
