SYSTEM command on Windows XP systems

[Nancy Palmquist]

This may be or seems to be related to a security issue but I don't see 
what it can be.  Here is what I am trying to do.

I need to move a file from one folder to another using SYSTEM commands 
in filePro.

I tried to do it directly in the SYSTEM command like this:

SYSTEM "copy /b /v /y "< folder1{"/"{filename{"."{3 < 
folder2{"/"{newfilename

system "del /f "< folder1{"/"{filename{"."{3<" > nul"

The del did not work.

Now I had tried aa=remove(folder1{"/"{filename{"."{3)  first which did 
not work so I resorted to the system commands.

Now when they did not work, I wrote the two commands to a file with a 
.bat extension.  I then execute that file.  The del still does not work.

If I go to the batch file and execute it without filePro, it will work 
perfectly  with the copy and then the delete.

Can anyone tell me what issues I am hitting  that would keep it from 
working correctly in filePro?  I am extremely puzzled.

(I will be attempting to use the MOVE command instead.  I will let you 
know if that works any better.  I am changing the name of the file as 
part of the copy and changing the folder also, so RENAME will not work.)
