Newbie Forte 4GL SQL and script question

Question

Kudos to all contributing to this forum. I appreciate all the info I have
been receiving.
I have a Forte 4GL question that someone may be able to help me with. I
have created a simple window class with a number of fields and a button.
When I press the button I want to take the values for each field and map
them to the appropriate column name in an oracle table.
The database and the table have already been created. I have verified in
SQL that I can query the table and I have created the Database manager in
the environment console. I have also created a DBSession service object
with the approprate information in the Database Tab.
I am unsure what the syntax should look like and where to put the SQL
statement.
Let's say the Window Class is called "Prototype" and the oracle table is
called "Table".
On the Prototype the field names are LastName, FirstName, and Address.
The corresponding column names are LNAME, FNAME, ADDRESS.
Can I put a sql insert statement in the Display method in the window class?
self.Open();
event loop
    when <CreateBtn>.Click do
                self.Window.MessageDialog
                        (MessageText='You have clicked the Create button. 
Information will be committed and sent for processing',
                        MessageType=MT_INFO);  
?<SQL insert statement>?
        when task.Shutdown do
                exit;
end event;
self.Close();
Lastly, how would one code in TOOL a command to call a shell script?
The shell script will reside on a UNIX box (same box where the database
resides) and create a flatfile of the data I just committed to the database
and then transport it to a remote location. I realize
there are a number of ways to tacke this. My initial thought is to have
Forte call a shell script execute a sql command to create a flatfile and
then handle the transport. The shell script would send a return value to
Forte indicating the process is complete.
Thanks for your help.

to build on pressh's comment, most rc.d scripts have a start, stop, restart case statement form.  i'm not sure if that's required to get it working correctly (i've got a custom dropboxd rc.d script that's giving me headaches at boot time so i won't offer any more "expertise" ).
now to my main point: it seems by the nature of your script, that that line would be better off in rc.local
