	     command : the system command to be invoked, as a
	               string.
	
	      intern : a logical, indicates whether to make the out-
	               put of the command an R object.

	     system invokes the system command specified by command.
	     If intern is TRUE then popen is used to invoke the com-
	     mand and the output collected, line by line, into an R
	     string vector which is returned as the value of system.
	     If intern is FALSE then the C function system is used
	     to invoke the command and the value returned by system
	     is the exit status of this function.  This function
	     provides users with the ability to invoke system com-
	     mands on whatever platform they are using.
