Turing --> CMD

[eNc]

Is there a way to make turing execute cmd commands ?

Sys.Exec a batch file

You'll want to research Sys.Exec, and look up the help for CMD.EXE.

A hint:

code:

C:\> cmd /?

Specifically, look at the /K option.

Btw do you kno what API stands for ?

API == application program interface

In other words, the thing you get when you press F10 (in OOT).

That's the turing reference.

[wtd]

An API is an interface you can use without knowing exactly how the underlying code works exactly.

Consider things like:

code:

View.Set ("graphics:640;480")

Do you know how that works? But you do know what it does, right? Exactly.

That's an API at work.

All links to the command prompt are removed from direct access by students, and so are icons for the C:\ drive. Not to mention that it's completely innaccesible through Explorer, period. But I can use turing to load up a command prompt (If you know the exact location of 'cmd.exe') , and the prompt is able to access the C:\ and A:\ drives.

At school today, I managed to get "Command Prompt.lnk" onto my desktop using a VB program our comp sci teacher wrote. But when I ran it, I got a message to the effect of "Command Prompt has been disabled on this account by the Systems Administrator"... darn =( So close, yet so far....

Aw, darn That would've come in handy this afternoon. We needed to format a stupid floppy but seeing as Right-click is disabled, command prompt was the only way we could've done it =/
