Help: Running SQLPLUS script from PL/SQL

I want to call the copy command from PL/SQL to copy a remote table . We are running Oracle 7.3 over Unix (HP). I have a script which can be run from the unix but the question is how to call this script from PL/SQL stored procedure. Is there a way to run SQLPLUS comand from PLSQL. If not, is there any interface between PL/SQL and host operating system (unix). I need to run this copy script to load a local table from a remote table using PowerBuilder application.

I will appreciate your help.

Thanks

Salman
