Notes
WinWaitForShell can not be called from detached processes. So a program started by a RUN= statement in config sys, can not rely on this method to wait for the shell to be up.
A message queue is not required for the thread which calls WinWaitForShell.
The prototype and defines for this function are defined in wpobject.h, which may be inaccessible if not compiling a WPS object class. Copy the defines and the prototype verbatim into your own code or headers for use. It is exported through os2386.lib in the OS/2 Warp 4 Toolkit.
