just curious is it possible to access your computer functions with turing such as
-open/close cd tray
-open certain applications (itunes etc)

you dont have access to kernel functions, but there is a command i believe Sys.Exec() will open applications, but its limited.

To shutdown the computer

var ret : int
system ("shutdown -s -c message-here", ret)

To eject the disc you will need to run a vb or java script

I couldn't get the java file to do anything but the vb method works fine

To run an .exe you can use the system command show above
