- I saw a request for information on how to create a resizable "dos
- window" from within Turbo Pascal (using Turbo Vision). I never did see a
- response. I too would like to be able to create a "window" to run dos. Now, I
- am setting up a dialog box, which prompts for a command, then uses this call:
- EXEC ('COMSPEC', '/C' + command); (if this is wrong, pardon me;
- I am doing this from memory (-: )
- which shells to dos and executes the command. I then have a pause routine so
- the user can view the results. As you can see, this workaround is not very
- efficent. Is there any way I can set up a dos window, or even something like
- the output window of the IDE?
-
- Thanks in advance,

- P.S. I am using TP 6.0 (not even 6.01)
