[Newbies] ProcessWrapper on Windows - Can't get OSProcess/CommandShell to work

[John-Reed Maffeo]

Ron,
Thanks for the suggestion, however it did not work for me on a 5.2 image or
a 4.1 image that I downloaded so I could test in the version you are using.

I verified that I have the shell.dll file, but I don't see FFI or
Win32Shell in either image.
I can't find any useful documentation about Win32Shell.
Web searches indicate that I might want to try loading Alien so I will give
that a try and see what happens.
