Shell Function not shelling under Windows NT.
If you trying to launch to do dir 'shell' then trying creating an
instance of cmd.exe when launching the command. i.e.
Shell "cmd.exe /c dir c:\winnt /p", <shell type>
Note: if you do not want to receive the PID of the shell, then you do
not need to variable to receive PID into. In this case, just make the
shell call without the parameters in brackets.
