Oleta,
If you are using R:BASE 6.5++ for Windows (Build: 1.866xRT03) or higher, you can use LAUNCH command to execute any program as well as LAUNCH any document with association.
At the R> prompt, command file or in an EEP:
Example 01: LAUNCH FileName.ext
Example 02: LAUNCH FileName.ext|< parameters>
Example 03: LAUNCH FileName.ext|< parameters>|W
The character "|" is the pipe symbol.
For complete details and syntax: http://www.RSyntax.com
For examples, take a look at the "NewStuff" demo and sample files included with R:BASE 6.5++ for Windows:
Start > Programs > RBASE 2000 for Windows > Sample (New Stuff)
If you need further help, feel free to ask.
Enjoy and make sure to have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

R:Base Newsgroup,
I am needing to execute some batch files from within R:Base for Windows v6.5++.
The R:Base command line is: ZIP ROLLOUT C:\COMMAND.COM /C 'C:\XXXXXXXX.BAT'
This command works fine. My question is: How can I make the batch file execute in the background without opening up a DOS Window while processing the commands in the batch file?
Thanks in advance for your help.
