The only possibility it has is to make a system call which is handled by the shell ( like U*IX system() ) by calling a routine who's pointer is in the system variables ( I don't know which; sorry ) A possibility you do have is when moria does a shell escape ( or some other programs as well ) is to setenv SHELL to the name of the shell; I set it to the name of a small program ( source on request ) which just reads a line and executes it by calling system on this line. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Klamer Schutte mcvax!nikhefh!n62 n62@nikhefh.hep.nl
