system command with \n (new line character)

[James Flanagan]

Bruce, 

Thank you very much!!!!!!  

I have been staring at this code for a few hours, trying everything i could think of, just not realizing that the issue i was having was simple syntax.  Clearly it took a fresh pair of eyes to see it, because i could not.  Thank you again….
