filename construction and Unix shell command

greetings:
i would like to execute unix shell command from Mma:
(!somecommmand )
as an argument to the command, i would like to construct various
pathnames....
/a/b/c/file1 /a/b/c/file2 ... et. al.
so define:
cdir = "/a/b/c/"
onefile = StringJoin[cdir,"file1"];
twofile = StringJoin[cdir,"file2"];
!somecommand onefile
complaints about the evaluation of the expression onefile:
"/a/b/c/file1"
what the shell command would like is:
!somecommand /a/b/c/file1
so how do we build the pathname and still satisfy the shell command?
thanx
m. r.
ps. i tried all manner of ToCharacterCode, ToExpression, etc., that
i could think of.
