shells win32

[MisterX]

Hi Keith,

The shell is supported.
just try

shell("Dir c:\")

is it interactive? No. You can't have a result until the shell is 
finished (XP, NT or W98 alike). Can it be fooled? Yes...

get shell("start dir c:\ /s > mylisting.txt")

then you can read the mylisting.txt file as it comes 
if the file is not locked by the system (but it works 
in this case).

cheers
Xavier
