__RUN()
Run an external program.
- Syntax
-
- __RUN( <cCommand> )
- Arguments
-
- <cCommand> Command to execute.
- Description
-
- This command runs an external program. Please make sure that you have enough free memory to be able to run the external program. Do not use it to run Terminate and Stay Resident programs (in case of DOS) since that causes several problems.
- Note: This function is what the RUN command preprocesses into. It is considered bad form to use this function directly. Use the RUN command instead.
Examples
__Run( "edit " + cMyTextFile ) // Runs an external editor
__Run( "command" ) // Gives a DOS shell (DOS only)
