   Can someone here tell me how to call a DOS command from Pascal? I'm
tearing my hair out after searching the web for a while (a "complete and
comprehensive" guide to Pascal fails to mention system calls at all).

   My manual notes the existence of a DOS.FPD object, yet gives no clue
how to use it. None of the example programs include it.

   I basically want to know how to do something like STRING:=DOS(find
"searchstring" filename) - obviously I don't know what the syntax is to do
this. :-)

   Thanks.
