Hello listers,

can anybody tell me wether and how the 'system' function
will accept the 'start' command (on a xp box)?

All I want is to open a local saved web page
with a "start mypage.html" command, like in command line.

Is something wrong with this: BEGIN {system
("start mypage.html")} ?

Another problem I have with the 'system' command
is that I couldn't find the way to write
something like: "mkdir ../mydir"

I know it is easier to use these commands
*outside* the awk script but I'd like to try to use them
within the awk script.

Any hint?
TIA
