Use "shell" function. For example:
on setFileVisibility tPath, TF
# to be able to set hideConsoleWindows back to what it was
put hideConsoleWindows into oldHCW
# convert terms from MetaTalk to MSDOS
# (makes the file visible by default)
if TF = "false" then
put "+H" into TF
else
put "-H" into TF
end if
# prevent the DOS window from showing
set hideConsoleWindows to true
# execute the command
put "attrib " & TF && tPath into commandString
get shell (commandString)
# set the setting back to what it was
set hideConsoleWindows to oldHCW
end setFileVisibility
