    Using shell command with Cygwin

    I don't know if this is a good question for VB forum - or should be directed to the Cynergy folks. I'm attempting to write a VB application that calls a Cynergy Unix shell. The output of the Unix shell will be written back to my C:\ drive, but I'm not sure how to pass parameters or arguments from the shell call.

    Does anyone know if this can be accomplished?

    Thanks,
    kgkidd

    if you use the Shell function, pass the parameters in it, like

    Shell "NameOfTheApplication /param1 /param2", vbhide (or whatever)
