The command to run external file is execute file

execute file fileName$, cmdLine$, path$

Where fileName$ is the name of the file you want to open, cmdLine$ anything you want to pass to the command line of the file and path$ is the folder the file is in.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Replace fileName$ with the name of your file.
Replace cmdLine$ with any command line strings you want: If you've played Half-Life, you could from RUN type "Hl.exe -dev -console" to bring up -dev mode and -console mode. You probably can leave this section blank.
Replace path$ with the directory you want to enter to execute the file.
