It seems that the only way to trigger this is by calling something like

        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start script.vbs");

on DOS-based Windows (95, 98, ME) and

        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start script.vbs");

on VMS-based ones (NT, 2k, XP, Vista).

You cannot do that from a macro script, but you could use Javascript, or
write a plugin that has a public static method calling the exec() method.

Hth,
