Hi Luc,
Thanks for the response
Is it also possible to call a non-standard command from DOS in
Mathematica? I have a software that I would like to run (from
mathematica), and to run it one does it using a dos command. And this
command is what i would like to call in from Mathematica.

Thanks again

Namrata
