Dim sText, sSqlite As String
'
'simple example using arch command
'try at command line to see the return
'
Exec["arch"] To sText
TextArea1.Text = Trim(sText)
'
'simple example using sqlite command
'try at command line to see the return
'
Exec ["sqlite", "-version"] To sSqlite
If Len(sSqlite) = 0
  TextAreaSqliteV.Text = Len(sSqlite)  'returns length 0
Else
  TextAreaSqliteV.Text  = Trim(sSqlite) 'returns version sqlite
Endif

I guess if the info is very long it night be possible exec directly into
the TextArea, never tried it before myself:

Exec[....] To TextArea1.Text

Give it a try.
