based on Bobs suggestion

if file("ip.txt")
erase ip.txt
endif
run "/n winipcfg /batch c:ip.txt"
m_file=filetostr("c:ip.txt")
m_start = at("IP Address",m_file)+29
m_ip = substr(m_file,m_start,16)
wait window m_ip
erase ip.txt

Use the /n switch to suppress the dos window. This is winipcfg as its not NT.
