Have a look in the Macro Functions pages:

exec(string or strings)

Executes a native command and returns the output of that command as a string.
Also opens Web pages in the default browser and documents in other
applications (e.g., Excel). With commands with multiple arguments, each
argument should be passed as a separate string. For example
   exec("open", "/Users/wayne/test.jpg", "-a", "/Applications/Gimp.app");
Refer to the ExecExamples macro for examples.

Hope it helps.
