Shell Commands

[Roger.E.Eller at sealedair.com]

I was trying to figure out how to pass commands to the OS on the OS level.
Shell looks promising, but I cannot get it to work. What is wrong with this
script?

on mouseUp
  set the shellCommand to "C:/WINNT/SYSTEM32/command.com"
  shell("dir C:\")
  answer the result
end mouseUp
