1. Try:
- `MyBatchFile.bat`
- system "MyBatchFile.bat"
- the same but with "cmd /c MyBatchFile.bat" (or /k , I don't remember exactly)

$? should contain the errorlevel (exit status)

I'm writing out of my head, if that won't help, just ask again,
tomorrow (i.e. in 10 hours) I can provide the right solution from my
code.
