if you need dos prompt commands in your program you can put in your source

CODE

system("command");

i first knew about this system call thing with "system("pause") and i wanted my program to pause for a few seconds so i typed system("10 ") for 10 seconds and it said bad command or filename and that got me thinking that "pause" must be a command prompt command, so i tryed system("netstat") and it gave me a netstat just like if i typed it in a dos prompt. i was trying to delete a file by using system("deltree") but i couldent figure out where to put the path. oh well i just figured this would probley be useful for someone sometime ;)
