In the example above, it looks like you also need to space out the
segments of the command line, add the 'SQRW.EXE' with a path in front of
it, get and use the comspec environment variable, and possibly add a
"wait" onto the end of the "call system using" command. There are several
examples in the archives (http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/).

When testing, I'd have a line with...
   show $Command
prior to the "call", just to make sure the construction looked correct.
