AFAIK you can not. Unfortunatelly, FPC in its current (stable) version is
not thread-safe - the problem is in the libraries (RTL). Or maybe I'm
wrong and the multithreading support has been recently added (in one of
the 'devel' versions ?)

COMMAND.COM - do you mean a DOS (go32) program ? In the case of Linux
programs you can send a program to background running it with '&'. In DOS
if you would like to EXECute a third-party program from your own program
without any visible output you can use redirection '>' and send the output
to a file.
