Well, not really: I don't thing you understood my question, let me take an
even simpler example:

        guile> (define date (system "date '+%d-%m-%Y'"))
        16-09-2000
        guile> date
        0

you see, I want that 'date' gets bound to the result of the system call,
not the shell exit code

i know this probably involves redefining output port and reading it, but i
was hoping a simple example just to be quicker

thanks
david
