 I did not understood your solution. please tell me clearly how to do
that .

 I tried what you have told, but no response.

 I am using commands in my application program, like 

  main()
 
{
 ...
 ...
  
 system ("mplayer -slave -idle -quiet abc.wmv\n");
 ...
 ...
 
system("pause\n");
 ...
 ...


}    

 but it is not taking taht command. It is showing error as ,
 
 pause command not found



 please give any solution.


thanks
