You need to use either the function `system' or one of the functions from
the `spawn' family.  Look up their documentation in the library reference. 
For example, type this from the DOS prompt: 

		info libc alpha system

(You will need the stand-alone Info reader for this; it is part of the 
txi312b.zip package.)
