It seems that the file management libraries are designed only to read and write the contents of external files. Is there a way, for example, to execute a batch script from the RTE? This seems like a basic functionality, but I cannot find any example of its use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;br/&gt;
