25.171. SYSTEM(executable_program)

[<<<] [>>>]

This function should be used to start an external program in a separate process in asynchronous mode. In other words you can start a process and let it run by itself and not wait for the process to finish. After starting the new process the BASIC program goes on parallel with the started external program.

The return value of the function is the PID of the newly created process.
