I am running IDL on an NT. I use the CD command to change directories
from within IDL. Staying inside IDL, I now want to list which files are
in this remote directory. The IDL command

IDL> SPAWN,'DIR'

Opens up a DOS window but then closes it immediatly.

How can I get IDL to keep the DOS window open so I can look at the
files?

Is there a way other than SPAWN to list the files in the new directory?

thanks-Peter Brooker
