I got a few more dependencies loaded only to get DNU on #waitForCommand: It
seems that WindowsProcess needs some more work.
I've tried simplifying and just getting an external process launched (
ExternalWindowsOSProcess command: 'c:/WINDOWS/system32/notepad.exe' ) and
even that doesn't work.... Alas it's time for bed.
