execute external programs

[soft4fun]

Hello and congratulations for this excellent language! 
It is the most complete and  powerful that i found. I use especially the musical commands (like playmidi$) to create an educational application.
Is there a command allowing to execute an external program (like run or execute)?
Thank you very much!

Check out the SYSTEM command in EBasic.  That should do what you are looking for.

try

c:/system/windows/notepad.exe
or what ever program you wish to run.
but if your window is set to "topmost" then the system call will work, but you will not see it until your program is closed.
