Does this tie into the ability to go

SHELL "somecommand" WAIT

and still get output back without having to redirect output to a 
temp file and File.Load it?

I'm looking for something like the backtick operator in other 
Unix interpreted languages.... e.g. perl :)

By the way, I finally uploaded Gambas to Mandrake Cooker contrib 
today.... so, maybe it'll be in contrib for the next Mandrake :)
