capturing values from system command

[Jose Lerebours]

user command comes to find ... being well over 10 years since I last 
used it but I think this would be a good bet it is meant to capture 
output from shell scripts.

alternatively, dump output to a file and read the file back ... easy 
filePro IO approach.

good luck!
