    You could try "shell" as in (command "shell" "dir"). Not sure if that (substituting "del...or whatever dos command) would do what you want, but it works and is not listed in the help.

    Thanks for the tip.The syntax is:(command "shell" (strcat "del " path filename))Note the space after "del It works. BricsCad makes a bat file for the Shell command$$IntelliCAD_Shell$$.batwhere the command is listed.Svend

    Is that a temporary file? My system has no batch file associated with Icad at all.
