It is a little bit unclear to me what exactly you want to do. Try
posting in your mother language if you have problems with English -
there is a good chance that someone else on this forum will at least
be able to translate it.

To execute a program, use the Exec procedure. Example:

   SwapVactors;
   Exec('c:\hi\hi.exe', '');
   SwapVectors;

See the online help for more information on Exec. You can also execute
the command interpreter, command.com (the exact path to this program
should be determined by evaluating GetEnv('COMSPEC')). Then you can
issue normal DOS commands, redirection and all. E.g. (untested):

   Exec(GetEnv('COMSPEC'), '/c dir > list.txt');

HTH,

Yeah, u can even do sth like this:
Exec(GetEnv('COMSPEC'),'/c c:\hi\hi.exe');

More, to write your own simple console:
repeat
Readln(command);
Exec(GetEnv('COMSPEC'),'/c '+command);
until command='exit';

This is gonna work both with external applications and DOS internal
commands.

That's not a legal filename.  CON is a reserved word, the name of a
character device.

swapvectors;
exec('c:\hi\hi.exe','');
swapvectors;

Would work.

To change current directory us the function chdir('new directory').

To find all the sub-directories use the file search.
use:
var
 dirinfo:Searchrec;

 findfirst('*.*',Directory,dirinfo)

Use your TP help to get the rest.
