Viral,
I think you might be looking for:
Win32Shell new shellOpen: 'trace.bat'.
Construct a trace.bat file then use this method to execute it. There are a
number of ways to get the results. In the bat file you could do something
like this:
TraceRt yahoo.com > results.txt
Then read the file results.txt back in.
Hope that helps, if not let me know,
Ron Teitelbaum
