[OS_Process->Open] accepts three parameters which open a native process. These include the required path to the executable to call, an optional array of command line parameters, and an optional array of environment variables to set. Alternately, these same three parameters can be passed directly to the [OS_Process] creator.
Var: 'myProcess' = (OS_Process);
$myProcess->(Open: '/bin/ls', (Array: '.'));
Encode_HTML: $myProcess->Read;
$myProcess->Close;
