Subject: Q: exec'ing another program from LispWorks?

When using Java, I often find it handy to
use Java as a scripting language, using
Runtime.exec to run an external program,
while capturing its output.

Is there a similar function built into LispWorks?

Thanks in advance for any information,
Mark
