   Here is a cleaner example of executing a command line up to 1000 characters if   
   you split it into 4 chunks of 255:   
      
   Uses CFG   
      
   Function LargeCommand (Name: String; C1, C2, C3, C4: String) : String;   
   Var   
     F : File;   
   Begin   
     If OSType = 0 or OSType = 4 Then  // Windows or OS/2   
       Name := Name + '.bat'   
     Else   
       Name := Name + '.sh';   
      
     fAssign   (F, CfgTempPath + Name, 66);   
     fReWrite  (F);   
     fWriteStr (F, C1);   
     fWriteStr (F, C2);   
     fWriteStr (F, C3);   
     fWriteLn  (F, C4);   
     fClose    (F);   
      
     LargeCommand := CfgTempPath + Name;   
   End;   
      
   Var   
     Command : String;   
   Begin   
      
     Command := LargeCommand(   
       'mybatch',                       // Filename (.bat or .sh will be added)   
       'Large command line part 1',     // Part 1 of long command   
       'Large command line part 2',     // Part 2 of long command   
       '',                              // Part 3 of long command   
       ''                               // Part 4 of long command   
     );   
      
     // Large command returns the path and filename of the batch file so we can   
     // take that and execute then delete it:   
      
     //MenuCmd   ('DD', Command);   
     //FileErase (Command);   
   End.
