Calling shell commands from within NWscript environment?

[rodkinnison]

I'm still coming up the learning curve on scripting and NWNX. Is there any way for a NWScript command through NWNX to execute a command *outside* the game environment, such as a shell script?

That would allow one, for example, to swap out .bic files or other measures for which there are not IG hooks.

What I am looking for initially are ways to modify normally "unmodifiable" character traits, like race and hairstyle, from an IG hook like a spell or an area script.

I think you could pass parameters from nwscript though nwnx to ShellExecute to execute stuff outside of the nwn environment.

Its just an almost educated guess though.
