sending commands to the system...

[Anonymous]

I need to access the equivalant of typing "SHELL" @ the AutoCAD command
prompt... From within my VBA app...

I was using SendCommand to do this...
SendCommand "Shell write.exe /p c:\tmp.txt"

but I'll bet that some of you are thinking...
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HE THINKING!

Is there an easy way to send commands to the system like...

write.exe /p c:\tmp.txt

I'm still pretty new to VB / VBA, so I would appreciate any help.

TIA
