Hi Jeff,
 I would like to be able to call other programs so I usually would use the 
ShellExecute command. How is this done on Lazarus for Linux. Thanks

See if what you want is in the windows unit.

cheers,

I wouldn't think so, it is mainly wrappers for the windows functions
and supporting definitions. I thought you were using window$ from some
of your previous mails. (It would help us give better answers if you
provided some more information about what you are trying to do, and
what system you are using :) )

I think that generally, once you start using OS APIs, (which is what I
presume you mean by shell API) you have to code them separately for
each OS. Probably there are equivalent units for other OSs, but I
haven't used any others (yet) so I'll let those who have answer that
question.

cheers,
John

The shell commands are windows only and will be found in the windows 
unit.  I would recommend using the TProcess which should work for both
