[Lazarus] Launching External Tool Cmd.exe in Windows

[Lars]

Hi, Lazarus has the nice feature of being able to launch an external tool.

I'm trying to launch a console app...

So I put C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe in the program file name for the
external tool. This does nothing and gives no error message. Also add the
parameter /k and it still does nothing.

Any idea how to get lazarus to launch a simple cmd.exe instance as an
external tool? Should this be filed as a bug if it doesn't work?

Other things I will try... COMSPEC... but still cmd.exe should work, no?
