Executes the function <path to executable>. Vensim can wait for the process to finish (for example, if calling Python to prepare some data). Any command line parameters can be passed as well via the <command line arguments> setting.

This command will return 1 if successful or 0 otherwise. If you are not waiting for the process to finish, the return value will always be 1. The return value will be used to determine whether to execute the remaining commands or shift to another screen.
