Johan, READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE THAT YOU ARE QUOTING. You might be used
to top-posting, but the convention on this ML is bottom-quoting and
those links aren't just bits of somebody's sig, they contain the answer
to your question.

You may also use a TProcess object:

Apologies to everybody else for top-quoting and "shouting", but I think
there's a possibility that the OP's missed the message due to
unfamiliarity with the medium.
