I am trying to send a command to windows from my java program, and I get an
error.
   The pertinent (?) part of my code follows:
public boolean action(Event evt, Object arg)
{ if (arg.equals("Execute")){
     inputText=(String)commandText.getText();
  System.out.println(inputText);
  try{
   Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      //Process cp1=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(inputText);
      //With the Runtime instance the program is run with the exec()
method:
   Process process = rt.exec (inputText);
  }
  catch(IOException ee){
   System.err.println(ee+" can't run command");
   System.exit(1);
  }
 }
 else return super.action(evt,arg);
 return true;
}

I have written other java programs that successfully used this function, but
I don't know why this one doesn't work. Any suggestions?
