[Tutor] Run a cmd program

[Øyvind]

Thanks a lot. However, it didn't work. I got an error stating something
along: "Is not recognized as an internal or external command, executable
program or ...... file" (I don't know how to translate the word ..... to
english).

But, when I looked in the manual about the commands module, I found this:
"Availability: Unix." That might explain. However, in the manual I also
found two other commands to try. 'Execl' which made PythonWin 2.3.5 crash
regardless how I used it, and os.popen. The latter worked perfectly.

Have a great day....
