spawn under windows 95 [message #9071]

Hi,

When I use the SPAWN command under Windows 95 the result is not what I
expect. I use the following code:

spawn,'dir',dir_list

The variable dir_list does not even exsist, let alone contain the
contents of the directory. Also when I first make the variable the
result it the same empty variable. The directory does contain data so I
should see something.
The command works fine under UNIX (spawn,'ls -1',dir_list), so can
someone please explain what is happening here. The documentation says
that the result variable does not work with Macs, but it says nothing
about Windows. BTW, I am using version 4.0.1.
