[Tutor] Different Command Result Executing in Shell vs. Program

[robert mcquirt]

@alan: Thank you very much for the information you provided and also for suggesting your tutorial. I am now studying the subprocess module. I was impressed with the depth of your tutorial and am studying it as well (and not just for my current problem). Thanks again.

@dave: Thanks for your reply Dave. I did try removing the quote as you suggested and then received an error of missing quote. As best I can determine the quotes are needed to surround the command being used in the os.system() context. However, your reply did serve to remind me to check the simple possibilities first before seeking a more involved solution. Thanks again for that.
