Starting Operating System Commands

DOS commands and executable DOS or Windows programs can be started using the "exec command ..." (see Chapter Starting Operating System Commands).

Examples:

<command> := ' dir /p' displays the current directory.

<command> := ' print out ' prints the file 'out'.

<command> := ' pgm1 > pgm1.lis' starts the program 'pgm1' and writes the results to the file 'pgm1.lis'.
