Subject: Making system Calls ??

I can not seem to find the secret for making system calls.
If I use a callback functions for a button
and do system("who");
the output goes to stdio. ( the active win )
I would like to capture this output and output it into
a textbox.
I am trying to learn xforms by wrapping a GUI around things
like
who, whoami, ping, ifconfig , top ...
I am out of Ideas
