What is the flag (0-15) in the command alias editor?

The ALIASEDIT command in AutoCAD allows to define new shortcuts (aliases) to internal commands and define (create) new shell commands. For the shell (OS) commands you have to specify a "Flag" (a number from 0 to 15).

This flag is a bit combination of:

Bit 1: if set, AutoCAD does not wait for the application to finish
Bit 2: if set, the application is run minimized
Bit 4: if set, the application is run as hidden
Bit 8: if set, the argument string has to be quoted

E.g. 11 means: run minimized, do not wait to complete, parameters are quoted.
