Is it possible, through a plugin or otherwise, to either launch a command prompt (DOS Window) inside MediaPortal itself; or be able to launch the DOS Window externally clicking on a button in MediaPortal?

There are certain DOS based operations I run on the HTPC I have MediaPortal running as the GUI; instead of minimizing MediaPortal (or closing it) and then clicking on my Command Prompt shortcut on the desktop - I would loveto be able to launch DOS, quite preferably inside MediaPortal itself ... like a little iFrame window - if not - then perhaps through a button, so that the MP GUI doesn't go anywhere.

Possible?

Hi luci5r

Think your best option would be the MultiShortcut plugin.

You can basically follow the same principle as in this very old post:
