external system() call

Tue, 8 Oct 1996 20:34:18 -0400 (EDT)

Perhaps I am not familiar enough with external calls, but I cannot get the
following program to do anything:
--------
program test_system;
procedure system(s: string); C;

begin
	system('ls -l');
end.
--------
It is not a question of writing output to the screen, because even
commands like "mkdir" do nothing.

Any suggestions?
