Not sure what you want, but sounds like its probably the shell command, look 
it up in the help
Put under the click event

public sub mybutton_click()
	Shell "kcalc" would run a calculator etc.
end


Lots of options, I'm not expert and struggle with knowing when a process 
finishes, and intend to ask some questions on that myself soon, but you can 
at least do simple things to start.

Hope this is 'on topic' for you.
