Re: Call System Question

[Buddy Sandridge <Buddy.Sandridge@GEAC.COM>]

Actually, on both my win-95 and NT machines, the mkdir at a command prompt makes
a directory with the correct name.  However, I didn't try a call-system command,
so maybe it's different when called that way for Win-95.  NT should do the
correct thing either way.

You're close.  Just add either command.com /C or cmd.exe depending on
whether your system is Windows or NT.  Recognize that the following command
will result in c:\temp\custom~1, since you will be working through DOS and
hence limited to 8.3

let $Call_Str = 'command.com /C mkdir c:\temp\custom_letters'
