Hello David
Try *execute*_ "...",0,0.
It will execute any command including its arguments
like you would type this in a dos shell.
Say you want to start the tool "mytool" in "sys:tools" with
the arguments "abc" and "def".
Then try
*execute*_ "sys:tools/mytool abc def",0,0
Your GUI programm will be blocked until "mytool" has finished.
(e.g. you can set a busy-pointer, call the tool and then
set back to the normal pointer).
Or use
*execute*_ "run >NIL: sys:tools/mytool abc def",0,0
if you don`t want that your GUI programm is blocked.
Hope this helps,
Thilo
