You can use the EXECUTE FILE command with CMD.EXE. If you use /c <command> it'll run then close the DOS window or /k <command> to keep the window open after the command.

This will do a wide directory listing:

I think there's probably some command in some microsoft dll to do this. It's standard enough you probably don't have to worry about compatibility issues... The problem is I don't remember the name of it :S
