[fpc-pascal] Linux Yad

[Brian via fpc-pascal]

Has anyone called Yad (linux file manager) as an external program form a main
program ?

If so can you provide an example of how to do it and retrieve the selected
file name?

Thanks
Brian

covers reading the stdout of the spawned process.. Or the simplified
