-"""mpwsystem -
-A simple example of how to use Apple Events to implement a "system()"
-call that invokes ToolServer on the command.
-
-Contributed by Daniel Brotsky <dev@brotsky.com>.
-
-(renamed from aesystem to mpwsystem by Jack)
-
-system(cmd, infile = None, outfile = None, errfile = None)
-
-1. Every call to system sets "lastStatus" and "lastOutput" to the 
-status and output
-produced by the command when executed in ToolServer.  (lastParameters 
-and lastAttributes
-are set to the values of the AppleEvent result.)
-
-2. system returns lastStatus unless the command result indicates a MacOS error,
-in which case os.Error is raised with the errnum as associated value.
-
-3. You can specify ToolServer-understandable pathnames for 
-redirection of input,
-output, and error streams.  By default, input is Dev:Null, output is captured
-and returned to the caller, diagnostics are captured and returned to 
-the caller.
-(There's a 64K limit to how much can be captured and returned this way.)"""
