Hi Steve,

I got it.
It prepends :silent before the !, when recognises the _exeq_ token
instead of _exe_.

This is the key:
original: let command="!".command
patch:  let command="silent !".command

Consult  :help :silent to see what exactly it does.
Makes sense on Windows at least when you don't want windows to bubble
up just to be closed. :)

Have a nice day,
  Peter
