Answer 1

I've managed to get somewhere with this...
I've got it to work by having the system command I want to run in a com file and specifying the full path to that file in the exec method without the '@'...
e.g.
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime.exec("ppoi_dev:[user.dba_ppoi.matt.proc]proc.com");
where the file
ppoi_dev:[user.dba_ppoi.matt.proc]proc.com
contains
$ dir
When I run this I can get the output from the dir command by reading from the InputStream of the Process object.
Have fun.
