what I don't like in current design:
- it requires external files to the generic .c file (but putting it into 
a resource would do)
- but more importantly, you cannot simply have a result that depends on 
some test conditions or previous results (for example "date"...)
- also it won't allow to use some "interactive" features of cmd (like 
filename completion on tab)

so I'd better like an approach where you decide, command by command, 
which input strings you send to cmd and how to interpret the final 
result out of the shell. the file approach you're currently using could 
be of course implemented on top of this first layer

A+
