Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I used the function subprocess.call(
'c:\abc.exe c:\data\file1'), but as before the command window opens and
closes very fast a value of 1 is displayed. How do I see the results?? I am
sorry if I sound dumb.

I am not a big user of python, hence the username, however I used the
os.popen command as suggested by Rikard
In the shell:
data = os.popen('ls')
type(data)
<type 'file'>
Then a loop over the data object
for f in data:
print f
seemed to do the job.
I did notice that I could not capture the information to a var using the
subprocess call - I HAVE NOT READ THE DOCs (yet) - a quick look suggested
that this *should* work
The call I made using subprocess
from subprocess import call
foo = call("ls")
<PRINTS CONTENTS OF /HOME/>
<FOO IS == 0 >
