I have Installed https://github.com/TurboPack/DOSCommand on Rad Studio Berlin 10 update 2 but I cannot find out how to use it. I have tried playing around with it and I have searched through google looking for examples but I can't find any.

Unfortunately your question does not have a detailed description.
If you have the component installed successfully it should appear in the component palette. Please place it on your form, adjust properties in object inspector and call Execute
.
BTW have you read "How to use it" and "Example" comments in the unit header?
*******************************************************************
How to use it :
---------------
- just put the line of command in the property 'CommandLine'
- execute the process with the method 'Execute'
Example
Example : Make a dir :
----------------------
- if you want to get the Result of a 'c:\dir /o:gen /l c:\windows\*.txt'
for example, you need to make a batch file
--the batch file : c:\mydir.bat
@echo off
dir /o:gen /l %1
rem eof
--in your code
DosCommand.CommandLine := 'c:\mydir.bat c:\windows\*.txt';
DosCommand.Execute;

Thank you. Sorry for the late reply but for some reason I didn't have "How to use it" and "Example" comments in the unit header. – Newb101 Feb 06 '17 at 13:21

I'm really truly missing a documentation of the methods and properties of the component, while I can make hypothesis about their meaning and usage. Can you point me to some documentation about the component parts ? I have to execute silently a calculation engine that returns a list of strings containing astronomical data about celestial bodies (planets and so on). I need to know how do do it silently, passing a command string with data to the program, and finally getting the results into a TMemo or something. – Sergio Bonfiglio Apr 01 '20 at 16:50
