In a previous posting I was trying to get some info on FORMS & making system
calls from within a c-prog.  I have decided my problem is in gl.

The following program, when run xeq's the rsh command, but no output shows up.

#include <gl.h>

main() {

  prefposition(100, 400, 500, 800);
  winopen("RED");
  shademodel(FLAT);
  color(RED);
  clear();
  color(7);
  cmov2i(60,200);
  charstr("This Window is RED");
  system("rsh stokes ls -l");
  sleep(5);

}  /* End of Main */



If I do not make any gl calls & simply do

main() {
  system ("rsh stokes ls -l");
}

I get the listing of the files on stokes.

Why does this not work in the gl program?
