Thanks Randy, maybe I should check out wxPython.

I am in the process of switching from Matlab to Python and there is one task that I am having a hard time doing and cannot find the answer on the web. I want to write a script in python that will open up a windows dos program, send three inputs (file names) into program and then run it. I know one way to open up the dos program with os.system(r"c:\shake91.txt") but cannot do the rest. Use the subprocess module: http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html untested, but should work: subprocess.Popen([r'c:\shake91.txt', 'param1', 'paramN-1', 'paramN']) if you want to communicate with the process you can add , stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE) to the function call. Check the docs for more info. HTH, Wayne Wayne, It kindof works. I wrote subprocess.Popen([r'c:\shake91.exe', 'FLAC.txt', 'a.txt', 'b.txt']) The dos program pops up and if I hit the enter key three times then it runs. How can I add these three "enters" into the script?
