| Sys.Out( cmd )                       | cmd will be passed to shell.  For example, ''"echo hi >/sdcard/out.txt\n"''.  To obtain execution results, redirect standard out (>) and/or stderr (2>) to a temporary file in a writable directory, then read it back in using app.ReadFile().  **NOTE: It is important to include the newline character at the end (\n).  Otherwise, your system procedure will only work the first time, and subsequent times will delay output until the DroidScript's termination.**  Also note that output may not be immediately available.  As a workaround, If the output file does not exist yet, you can use setTimeout() to poll for output repeatedly until it arrives.  |
| Sys.ReadFileAsByte( filename )       | Return the decimal number for the ASCII code of the first byte of the named file.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| Sys.WriteToFile( filename, string )  | Write the specified string to the named file.  (app.WriteFile does the same)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
