That's not one of the better ways of doing it.  TopSpeed supplies an
Execute procedure in Lib if I remember correctly.  They've actuallt
got two flavours, Execute and ExecuteCmd.  The former can only be used
to execute binaries (ie. .COM or .EXE files) and the latter is passed
a complete DOS commandline (like C's system command) which is then
executed under COMMAND.COM (actually %COMSPEC) so that you can also
run batch files.  The easiest way to locate it in the libaries is to
type it in the editor, put the cursor over it and hit F1.
