Help with shell() script

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

I checked it with a little script:

set the shellcommand to "c:\apps\cygwin\ls.exe"
get shell("") -- needs the quotes apparently or it wont compile
answer it

when you execute this you will see again the damn /c in the error message

Tested quickly in MetaCard... should be the same in Rev...

cheers
Xavier
