Suppose I had an external program that took a file in and modified it,
saving the modified version as a new file in this format

program.exe -i oldfile.dat -o newfile.dat

Is there any way to send this little command to the system command
prompt? There is no need for information sharing between this program
and mathematica, so it seems unnecessary to use Run, RunThrough or
writing a MathLink. Using Run I can provoke a command prompt to pop up
but the program is never run. Any suggestions?
