Then I think the strategy should be not to use system() since BASIC
should be able to do anything the shell can do internally anyway.

Regarding bwBASIC's SHELL( ) problem, I believe this is because the

Watcom's system( ) function and `command.com /c' will return 0 as long as
command.com is able to run at all.

Hello Mr. McMackins,
I guess I am a little late with this --- but I had recently been
checking out some existing BASIC implementation projects, and I think
there might be a few BASICs which can be ported, with some effort.
For example there is the "Minimal BASIC Compiler"
