You may need to be more specific.  On various versions of Windows, in batch
or interactive mode, os.system('command.com') might or might not do what
you want.  On Win XP, interactive mode, one is already in a command window
and the above gives a command prompt 'C:/Python...' in the same window,
where one can do dir, cd, type, etc, and finally exit to return to Python
and its prompt (again in the same window).
