"RUN" command on Windows

Hi

Has anyone used the 4GL "RUN" command within Windows (I'm using TUI mode via MinGW) and come across the following issues?


1)   Several commands on a line won't parse -
e.g. a 4GL with the following snippet:
LET lc_cmd = "pwd ; cd /opt; pwd"

RUN lc_cmd

Returns the following at runtime (running in path /test):

pwd: ignoring non-option arguments

/Test



Whatever sequence of commands I put in there , only the first one is parsed and run, the rest are ignored



2)   Shell variables are not expanded (or recognised?).

e.g. set and export shell variable

WORK=/test/programs
and then run a 4GL with the following snippet:



            LET lc_cmd = "$WORK/myprog.4ge"

     RUN lc_cmd



Returns the following at runtime:

            '$WORK' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file



I've tried using the string ${WORK} in the 4GL with the same result.



Seems RUN behaves oddly on Windows; any ideas if there are workarounds?
