new command window

[Bill Boyle]

Hello,
The first question has little to do with java, but the second question deals with java.
From the Windows 2000 command line, is there a way to open up a new command prompt? Typing cmd just opens another instance in the same window, can I open up an entire new command prompt window.
Now for the java question. From a java program can I open up a new command prompt? I want to run a client/server program. I want to type:
java myApp
myApp will start two new command prompts, one for server and one for client. This way I can watch the communication between client/server.
I could start the client and server separately, but being a computer scientist I wanted to automate the process.

type in: start cmd

java myApp

Being a slacker, I usually just use a batch file to start the client and server, spawning one new command line with the command above.

Also, if you're lazt like me, "start" works just as well as "start cmd"
