@alan: Thank you very much for the information you provided and also for 
suggesting your tutorial. I am now studying the subprocess module. I was 
impressed with the depth of your tutorial and am studying it as well (and not 
just for my current problem). Thanks again.

@dave: Thanks for your reply Dave. I did try removing the quote as you 
suggested and then received an error of missing quote. As best I can determine 
the quotes are needed to surround the command being used in the os.system() 
context. However, your reply did serve to remind me to check the simple 
possibilities first before seeking a more involved solution. Thanks again for 
that.
