Hi alexw,

I was quite literally going to order Hollywood 2.5 in half an hour, until I saw this.

The shell version is a bit more tricky, because Hollywood was designed for multimedia applications. But you can call Execute to run an external program. I.e.:

@DISPLAY {Mode = "Windowed"}
Execute("Echo \"Hello World\"")

Still using windowed mode, because Hollywood would ask for a screenmode otherwise. The bad thing is, you will see an empty window for the duration of your program. The only way I know to suppress this is by opening a very small window which is not notable. Not a very nice solution IMO, but here it is anyway:

@DISPLAY {Mode="Windowed", X=#RIGHT, Y=#BOTTOM, Width=1, Height=1, Borderless=True}
Execute("Echo \"Hello World\"")
