call "start c:\amipro\amipro.exe" ; note system specific convention ... also

Hi Phil:
I use /Command and I assume it's using the same core than /View/Pro.
So try:
>> help call
USAGE:
CALL cmd /input in /output out /error err /wait /console /shell
DESCRIPTION:
Runs another process.
CALL is a native value.
ARGUMENTS:
cmd -- The process request (Type: string block)
REFINEMENTS:
/input -- Redirects in to stdin
in -- (Type: any-string port file url none)
/output -- Redirects stdout to out
out -- (Type: string port file url none)
/error -- Redirects stderr to err
err -- (Type: string port file url none)
/wait -- Runs command and waits for exit
/console -- Runs command with I/O redirected to console
/shell -- Forces command to be run from shell.
Example:
>> call "d:\Program Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\IEXPLORE.EXE
http://127.0.0.1/standby.html"
Hope this helps !

button "Notepad" [
call ["notepad.exe"]]

Could someone give me an example of how to run a system command in Win98
(ie run a script or an executable).
