Hi George,
You want Unicon, http://www.drones.com/unicon, an Icon with POSIX extensions
developed by Shamim Mohamed. Unicon forms the basis for some multiplatform
file, directory, and internet facilities that we are working on, which will
be described in a forthcoming book.

I really think that system() ought to work great for this, but in any case,
Unicon has these types of functions as built-ins for Icon.
