Thread Subject: Calling Windows Command Line from MATLAB

I'm aware that MATLAB cannot execute IDL code, so I was wondering if there was a way to call the Windows command line from MATLAB, which could in turn call my IDL code. Most articles I'm finding are associated with MATLAB being called from the Windows command line instead of the other way around.

Thanks!
