BE Game,

You must, must, must go over the DBC help files and index and glossary. All available commands are in there for you. Sorry if I sound rude...it is not my intention.

EXECUTE FILE
This command will shell execute a file. The commandline is used to pass additional data into the file being executed. The directory is used to optionally specify a directory other than the current directory. The file must exist or the command will fail. Passing a document, rather than an executable as the filename will cause the document to be opened.

SYNTAX
EXECUTE FILE Filename, Commandline, Directory

here is an example:

Execute File "hl.exe", "-c", "c:\Games\Half Life"

this means that you run HL.exe with the command line -c which will bring up the console. and the path is the path to the exe file so that you will run the game with all its media.
if you do not spesify the directory name, no media will be loaded because hl.exe think that it is located in the directory you are running your exe file from
