[PythonCE] launch external application from pythonCE

[Geir Egeland]

Hi,
The error message i get using os.system(cmd) is :

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'system'

So, this doesn't seem to work...
Doing a help(os) does not show the 'system' command under available 
functions.
Any other suggestions?

regards,
geir egeland
