Yeah, if you have buddyAPI you can use the BaShell command. baShell( "open", "cmd", "" , "", "normal" ) That should bring up the command shell directly. Buddy directly executes the command as if you used the 'run' option in the start menu. A good example is booting up email. Using gotoNetPage brings up a navigation canceled browser window before launching the email program, which as well as being messy takes a fair while. With buddy you just do this. baShell( "open", "mailTo:[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "" , "", "normal" ) And it boots up the default email proggy without any browser nastiness. It's also much quicker. Chris PS.
