Re: Dos Window

["Stephen C. Lorenz" <slorenz@SEAHAWK.NSCC.MASS.EDU>]

Helen,

You might try inserting 'command.com /c ' at the beginning of your system
command.  For example to run a bat file named mybat.bat try:

    call system using 'command.com /c mybat.bat' #status-call_mybat

Hope this helps.
