Neil J. Rubenking has a simple program in Delphi for Dummies, page 332.
Place an edit box and a button on a form. Use these lines for the 
button's OnClick event handler:
VAR Command : string;
begin
  Command := Edit1.Text + #0;
  IF WinExec(@Command[1], SW_SHOWNORMAL) < 32 THEN
     MessageDlg('Failed to execute ' + Edit1.text,
       mtError, [mbOK], 0);
end;
Cheers, Ray.
