os.system always opens new window on Windows XP/2000

Can anyone tell me how to run a bunch of commands in the same command
line window? When I do this:
system("command1")
system("command2")
...
it opens a new window for every system call. The alternative I can
think of is to write out the command to a batch file and run that, but
I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it.
Partly it is annoying to have 20 cmd windows flash on the screen, but
also I don't think it works if I do something like this:
system("set envvar=hi")
since I think the envvar does not persist once the command window is
closed.
thanks!
