I dunno. Never tried to do that. Could be that if you put an "&" in the 
bindings file after the command it might work?

As I said, I am not one of the developers here, just a user. So I would 
try to see that whatever is supposed to do such a thing outside of MC from 
the command line, will also work if you start the app from within MC using 
the bindings file. Be adventurous. It often works. And after all if 
whatever you try doesn't work, then nothing lost except pride and you can 
always go back and edit the bindings file again and try something else.
