Can anyone tell me how to start a DOS shell from within a Turbo Pascal program? I want to be able to go do DOS while running the program, then type exit to escape the shell and return to the Pascal program. Thanks for any information you can provide.

There is a public domain program on the Borland SIG on Compuserve to allow this. I believe it is on some BBS's too. It's called EXEC.PAS (as I recall). I know it works, because we use it at work (to solve a couple of really odd-ball programming problems) -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I used to be a hacker.
