This sounds like a classic case of scope creep: Let's get someone to solve
one problem, then let's build on the first to solve a second and so on. Can
we have the whole scope in one fell swoop, please, instead of one little bit
at a time? You also need to spend a little more time on thinking about your
spec. When you say "two programs", do you mean two programs running
concurrently or successively? And why this insistence on keeping a Command
Processor running?

Suggest you open TWO separate command prompt windows. Run each program
in its own window. You can switch between the two windows.
