How to open a terminal window using skill function

Hi Everybody

I was looking for a skill function that will open a linux terminal window

on a specified directory path. Is there a function like that?

I tried searching but could not find one

Any help will be much grateful. Thanks

Best Regards

Fazul

    Fazul,

    How about:

    dir="/the/path/you/want"
    system(strcat("cd " dir "; xterm &"))

    Regards,

    Andrew
