[Tkinter-discuss] Open a Dos prompt(cmd.exe) using a GUI, thus allowing user to execute batchfile

[Snakey]

I have created a GUI which has a button that when pressed, opens a Dos prompt
box.  I am using os.system( '.somepath...\.\cmd.exe' ).  In this dos box,
the user can run watever application he wants eg. execute a batchfile or run
dos commands.   

1. I need the GUI to monitor this dos box such that when the user closes the
box, the GUI is aware of this action.

2. I need the GUI to monitor this dos box, such that when the user executes
a batchfle in the dos prompt box, and the batchfile ends, the GUI is also
aware.

Is there someway the GUI can monitor the status of the dos box?
