Input/Output PB 4.0 Beta 5

Hi i got a little problem with the Purebasic 4.0 Beta 5:

console.l = RunProgram("cmd","","",#PB_Program_Open|#PB_Program_Read|#PB_Program_Write)

Repeat

If AvailableProgramOutput(console)
 Debug ReadProgramString(console)
EndIf

Debug "running"
Delay(500)
ForEver

The "running" should be printed the whole time and if output is aviable it should also be printed.
Why does this (after a short output) stop until the cmd.exe is closed mannually? Is there a way (without threads) to prevent this problem?
I hope someone of you can help me!

ReadProgramString() needs an 'carriage return' to return, else it will block. You probably want to use ReadProgramData() here.

I've already tried it with readprogramdata, it doesn't work.
