How to execute the OS commands

When executing OS commands, use $ZF(-100).

do $ZF(-100,"",program,args) // Execute the Windows command [synchronously].
do $ZF(-100,"/ASYNC",program,args) // Executes a Windows command [asynchronously].

When executing OS shell commands such as mkdir and copy, also specify /SHELL.

do $zf(-100,"/shell /async","mkdir","c:\temp\x")
