subject: Shell in a window

Hello All!
I'm running Clipper 5.2E, CA TOOLS 3.0B and Blinker 3.0....
In my application, I need to open a window and shell to an external program.
If I use
   WinWork := WOPEN(5,5,20,75)
   RUN ("PKZIP")
the video output of PKZIP is fine, and the data is correctly displayed INTO 
the window, but if I use the swap function from blinker like this
   WinWork := WOPEN(5,5,20,75)
   SWPRUNCMD("PKZIP",256,"","")
the video output of PKZIP does not respect the window previously opened, and 
the data is displayed using the complete screen.
Anybody know how I can fix this? Am I doing something wrong?
