Re: Call System Question



[Stephen Ratliff <stephenratliff@hotmail.com> asks how to make a
 Windows directory using CALL SYSTEM...]

Search the archives for this one.  It's a frequently asked question.
Probably under the key words 'CALL SYSTEM' and 'command'.  The
solution involves grabbing COMSPEC to determine the proper command
shell invocation, then calling it with /C to execute the command.

On the topic of frequently asked questions, is there a convenient
place one could archive a FAQ list if there were such a thing?  I'm
considering compiling a list of FAQs for the list.

I've been on the list for maybe three months, and I've seen a handful
of questions fly by more than a dozen times:
  * How do you get off this list?
  * How do you make a system call?
  * How do you print/convert graphics?
  * How do you print on both sides of the paper?
