 IOW, OnXTerm() is still as broken as it always was. In particular, I note:
 {{{
             cmdlist = ["cmd.exe", "/c", 'start "%s"' % runbat, command]
 }}}
 Try using:
 {{{
             cmdlist = ["start", runbat, command]
 }}}
 then running the command with shell=True (if this isn't already set, which
 it should be).

 Also try not using gcmd.Command(). It appears to be intended to run GRASS
 commands, and neither cmd.exe nor start are GRASS commands. It's also
 insanely hard to figure out what's going on once you get into
 gcmd.Command().
