Hi Sabine, Sean, PLEASE NO WinExec, this is long deprecated and only for 16bit compatibility see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms687393(v=vs.85).as... As you see on MSDN CreateProcess() API should be used. If you are on Pharo 3.0 look at my "OS-Windows" project loadable from the config browser. You will find the class WinProcess with methods like #createProcess: (nonblocking) and #createAndWaitForProcess: (blocking) there. It already uses CreateProcess API. With the package you can for instance run the command processor: WinProcess createAndWaitForProcess: 'cmd.exe' You also have access to the environment like WinEnvironment getEnvironmentVariable: 'PATH'. See the documentation at http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Windows for more examples. Bye T.
