In addition, creating an Objective-C wrapper for a function like =20
system() and loading it in F-Script (see section 11 in the F-Script =20
guide) would be trivial (if you can program in Objective-C). =20
Something like this in Objective-C:

-(int)executeInShell:(NSString *)str
{
   return system([str UTF8String]);
}

Best,
