RE: [VBra] How do I open files by pressing a button?

Hi Shawn,

I tried to open a program with the "shell" command. However, after
pushing the button (which execute "shell"), the program initiated
but never really ran (I can't see anything on the screen). I think
the program might be running in the background or somewhere because
later I got a fatal message when I tried to close up my windows.
Do you know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Also, if I want to check if a file exists or not, what command
should I use?

Please help. Thanks a lot!


Jaclyn
