Can opening of the dos window be avoided when starting a ltk application ?
With varying degrees of difficulty, probably.
Fundamentally, the appearance of the console window is a compile-time setting. Microsoft applications are compiled as console or GUI mode; the OS shows the window based on this mode.
I believe the approaches were - create a shortcut and disable the console there (near compatibility mode info) and call that to start wish - find a tool that can change the mode flag in wish - find a different wish executable - recompile wish
I was looking at this for ABLE a year or two ago. There were a couple related lisp-implementation-dependent issues; don't remember whether I fixed the console problem. I don't have any real documentation on that effort other than what is in the list archives. Haven't had much hacking time this year.
