Help with shell() script

[Paul Williams]

Yes Xavier,
this is the problem, I am trying to script the openssl shell.
I can run a single command from the cmd.exe shell but it quits at the end, 
what I need is a way to open the opessl shell and then read and write shell 
commands to it but the '/C' keeps gettng in the way.

Has anybody else had any success with working with this?
