Hi,

The method I've been using for submitting shell commands is asynchronous...

For example:-
    shellCmd := '<long running shell command here>'.
    pipe := FileStream popen: shellCmd dir: FileStream read.

pipe returns after about a second no matter how long the shell command takes to complete.

Is there a way to call shell commands in a synchronous fashion?

Smalltalk system: 'abc'
