calling external programs

["Dave Mason" <dave_mason101 hotmail com>]

Hi,  I'm a newbie to gtk, and I need to call a system() function and have 
its output show up in a separate frame(?) or dialog box or window or 
something.  Do you just create the new widget, make it active, then make the 
system() call?  What's the recommended widget to use - a window?

Thanks for any help.
