Hi John,

Well, first of all you need to have at least
Rebol/View/Pro ie. You have downloaded Rebol/View/Pro
and purchased a license key for it (US$49), which unlocks the
Pro features (shell access, external libraries, some sound etc.)

The command that you would use is CALL, eg:

        call ""

Which on Windows opens a console window very briefly
(and doesn't do anything else.)
Here on Windows 2000, this opens a shell window:

        call "cmd.exe"

To see more options, type:

        help call

Rebol/Core doesn't have call.

Regards,

Anton.
