Re: Running dos commands!

As to run dos commands you can simply write:

Process p = Runtime.getRunt ime().exec("<<c ommand>>");

As to view an html file in IExplorer or Netscape I think you can
just write "filename.h tml" in the exec String parameter because
the System under the VM automatically find the best program to
execute that file extension. So if IE is the "default browser" IE
will be opened; if Netscape do, Netscape will be opened.
Anyway "nomefile.h tml" will be shown!

With regards to opening a document on a Windows platform, it is better to
use the "start" command, and pass the html file as an argument. Like:

Process p = Runtime.getRunt ime().exec("sta rt myfile.html");

Off hand, I'm not sure if you need to pass the whole path to start or not.
You could probably also use the environment variables in the string, like
%SYSTEM_ROOT%, if I remember correctly.
