Ah, thanks.

Yes, the shell function is very handy.

In addition to calling compiled code, you can also call 
platform-independent scripts from it as well, like Python, bash, perl, etc.

"open process" can also be useful, with some additional options shell 
doesn't offer.

And for deep, efficient integration there's also LC's External API 
(though I don't know where that's documented these days - Mark Wieder, 
do you know where we can find the docs and templates for that?)
