Can I send commands to operative system from Adobe AIR Desktop Application?

Question

In Python there is a function: os.system(command) that runs the command passed by parameter in the command line, there is something similar in AS3 (or MXML) running an Adobe AIR Desktop Application?

From the incoming Air2.0 you will be able to execute native process (with some restriction), here an example controling mplayer from an Air application. Otherwise it s not possible within Air 1.0-1.5
