You should be able to use system() for Windows calls that don't return
results, or backticks (``) for calls that do return results. Be aware that
if you specify absolute Windows paths (`dir C:\win2000\system32`), you may
have problems with the backslash being interpreted as an escape character --
you'll need double backslashes (`dir C:\\win2000\\system32`).
