hi folks
i`m totally new to mel & i`m trying to run through some tutorials, my problem is,
i am trying to execute photoshop from the script editor so i can make a button on my custom shelf, i have followed the intructions & played around with the code but no joy so far can any one explain why i am getting this error & what is the solution ?.

system {"start C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/photoshop.exe"};

the error i get is:

system {"start C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS3/photoshop.exe"};
// Error: Invalid call to "system". Check number and types of arguments expected by the procedure. //
