    well you can use the dos.h, and call stuff with the system() function...

    altho i think in your situation you are creating a terminal so basically you want to create your own windows Shell...

    so you will have more work to do than just calling simple dos commands.

    API Call

    use the api calls:
    ShellExecute
    ShellExecuteEx

    See if that helps.
