Hi Mark,

Two students of mine are building a stack to give learners some practice with the concepts of mean, median, mode, quartiles, and range. They asked me whether they could have a button in their stack that launches the calculator that comes with windows (chiefly so the students can add and divide for mean). So I'm asking the list members. Keep in mind that these students have less than 2 hours so far of programming experience whatsoever, so shell commands and externals would be too much for them. They are working on Windows XP to compile for Windows.

An alternative would be for them to create their own calculator within the stack or as a substack. They only have three weeks to finish this project, so I was hoping to avoid that rout.

Check the "launch" command, that should do the trick.

...
launch "C:/omplete/path/to the app to be launched/ here.exe"
...

Remember to provide the complete filepath in REV (UNIX) notation with slashes!

Thanks in advance,

        Mark Greenberg

Regards

Klaus Major
