Possible to return values?

Message #222 of 233 |

Hi,

I just wanted to know if it is possible to get values with the SHELL command?
For example if I am using SHELL ("zenity") can the returned value be stored?

BTW: Nice to see there are still updates for Blassic so this lovely BASIC
dialect isn't dead for now ...
