Environment
$ONELINER$
Run an external program.
$SYNTAX$
__Run( <cCommand> )
$ARGUMENTS$
<cCommand> Command to execute.
$DESCRIPTION$
This command runs an external program. Ensure that
you have enough free memory to be able to run the external
program. Do not use it to run 'Terminate and Stay Resident' programs
(in case of MS-DOS) since that causes several problems.
Note: This function is what the RUN command preprocesses into.
It is considered bad form to use this function directly.
Use the RUN command instead.

__Run( "edit " + cMyTextFile ) // Runs an external editor
__Run( "command" ) // Gives a OS shell
