Hi, Celeste. Yup you can use Process P = Runtime.getRunTime().exec(
"your Dos command / batch file call);
You can even run an external app even if the external app asks for
parameters after running it (e.g. running telnet which asks for password)
and you can even communicate with it from within your app! Good heh......
hth.
