Default running commands from hte shell

i would like to create a simple spreadsheet, that has, say, a button for
PING, a button for NSLOOKUP, and one for NBTSTAT. Along with those, a text
box for inputting an ip address or computer name. When the button is presses
the command is run against the info in the textbox and output into say cell
f6. I have not been able to figure this out. I can get as far as seeing the
sheel open quickly with the programs' /? command run. It then closes very
quickly. Thanks in advance for any clues.
