I was wondering if there was any way to access command prompt in dbpro.

for example, in quickbasic, the 'shell' command allowed you to use the command prompt

thanks.

actually, what i meant was is there a command which, doesn't open command prompt window but rather allows u to type in a command which is from part of the command prompt and then runs it (if u know what i mean).

Like the shell command in quickbasic (if anyone knows quickbasic)
