execute pc code from a command button

What is the proper procedure that would be used to have a command button do
something like:

comment - file copy in process
y:\
MD test
c:
CD\temp
COPY *.* y:\test
comment - file copy complete

* file copy in process
lcStart = sys(5)+curdir()
cd y:\
MD test
* not sure what you want here. Is \temp on y: or the current drive
CD \TEMP
COPY FILE *.* TO y:\test
CD (lcStart) && back to where we started
* file copy complete

Technically though, all that CD stuff isn't necessary if you use a full path
in the MD and the COPY FILE.
