What are you trying to do via command prompt / system.callSystem() ?

I'm trying to download a text file with curl cmd.

I'd try an HTTP request instead, curl isn't availbile on all Windows installs. An HTTP request works cross-platform. Here's a library that makes it pretty easy:

You can use it like:

var data = $http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://example.com/path/to/test.json',
headers: {'Accept': 'application/json','Content-Type': 'application/json'}
});
alert(data.payload);

That's entirely up to the parameters of invoking the command line/ Windows Scripting Host/ Power Shell itself and has nothing to do with AE. Check the Windows docs. The best option is likely to create a specific batch file or link and execute this instead of directly addressing the receiver app.
