Running dos command in octave (win32 version)

[Ciotti, Louis A]

I am trying to run some dos commands within octave, and I cannot seem to
get them work.  Basically I want to delete some files and run a batch
file.

To delete the files I have tried:

System("del myfile.ext")

Which gives:

del: not found
ans = 127

What am I doing wrong?
