I've dug around in the guts of bwBASIC enough to know stuff about it. The simple answer is that bwBASIC is not a "shell" in the sense that "BASH" or just plain "SH" are. Its a BASIC interpreter. It runs BASIC programs. You can execute shell commands from it with the "SHELL" function. So you would do something like this: bwBASIC: shell "ls" Or if you want to capture the exit code and do something with it, you use the SHELL() function, like this: x = shell("ls") I've...Daniel D.

It is a condition of the bwbasic license that any binaries need to have accompanying source code. I haven’t seen any source code. And then I need to review that source code. And then I need to merge it. I’m not promising to cut a new release based on these changes though. BFN. Paul.
