[PD] system call

[Rune Lain Knudsen]

How about using the pyext external from Thomas Grill(if you're into python that is)? It's a long time since I've worked with it but the os.system module might be what you need. see:

http://docs.python.org/tut/node12.html

The glob module is good for cross-platform file listings as well, if you do a search for glob on the pd-list I seem to remember a good example of that one.

Hope this helps!
