 Help Need to Exe a DOS exe from VB4 and return output

Help.  I need to execute a DOS exe program from VB4.  The DOS program runs
and returns a text message to the screen.  I need to capture the text
message and return it to VB4.  I can't find a way of returning value if
using shell.

Thanx for any help in advance.

One Solution:

You could have your DOS app write to a temporary text file, and read
the text file when control returns to VB.
