You can probably avoid using os.system() entirely (always a good thing) by instead using the functions in the `shutil` library: http://docs.python.org/library/shutil.html And for future reference, the `subprocess` module is the preferred way to invoke external programs, rather than os.system(): http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
