[gme-users] runnning exe from GME dll

[Jeff Shanab]

Is your interpreter in C++ or Java? I just happened to be working with a
java interpreter this weekend and needed input from the user.
A simple dialog box was a basic 1 liner in java to get info from the
user. I haven't looked but perhaps the same can be done in c++?
