Thanks Rainer.  My apologies for re-post this question. I worked hard
looking for a solution, to avoid writing to the list, yet I missed
that thread. Your response was very helpful in guiding my quest! I
learned about the functions "system, fork, exec and popen" among other
things.

I'm still learning! I have found that a simple call to function
"system()"  is enough. But I was curious to learn how to use "fork /
exec", and was a bit difficult for me.

Very interesting, I'll try.

Anyway, I'm very excited to learn C, so I'll probably solve the
problem using both languages.

Thank you all!
Salud!
