[Tutor] Python-windows command prompt interaction?

[Trey Keown]

Hey all,
  I'm creating a program that will copy a user's internet history from
Internet Explorer, and I'm having a bit of trouble.

I need to get python to either initiate a command via the command prompt,
or open a file with its default program (in this case, a .bat file with
cmd.exe).

I've been googling a bit, but I can't seem to find any answers.

Thanks for any help.
