[Cuis-dev] OS Process

[lewis at mail.msen.com]

Hi Hilaire,

Certainly yes, that is exactly how OSProcess works. I would encourage 
you to debug the example (in the method comment) and see what it does. I 
will be very happy to try to answer questions or make suggestions if I 
can be of help.

I will mention that there is a companion package CommandShell that works 
with OSProcess to provide better integration of external OS processes 
with the image, but that is not ported to Cuis (design thinking 
required!) so it is topic for a separate discussion. I think that 
OSProcess alone should be good for the kind of processing you want to 
do.
