Hmmmm, I'm not seeing that behavior in 4D 2004.7r3. The command
executes synchronously for me either way.

On a related note, I'm also looking for a way to get output before the
command completes execution. I'm doing an rsync that may take awhile
to execute and want to get in-progress status. I had thought I could
append:

$Command_t:=$Command_t+" > "+$output_file_path_t+" &"

to my rsync command to have it write the output to a text file, but it
doesn't seem to work anymore.
