  That is what the START command does. I.e. if you have a call to
  SWITCHER in one line of a batch file, the following lines do not get
  executed until SWITCHER exits.  But, if you replace that line by
  START SWITCHER, then the remaining lines will get executed once the
  sub-process has been started (assuming that you are in a multi tasking
  system).
