I\'m sure this must be something really easy, but I can\'t seem to make it work. Let\'s say I have an .fsx script file and want to cause it to be executed prog

As asked in a comment, you can set UseShellExecute to false to avoid opening the Windows shell. This way, you can have your output directly in F# shell:

open System.Diagnostics

let execScript script =
    let psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\Program Files\Microsoft F#\v4.0\Fsi.exe")
    psi.Arguments <- script
    psi.UseShellExecute <- false
    let p = Process.Start(psi)
    p.WaitForExit()
    p.ExitCode
