Compiling

If I understand compiling correctly, you have to make a Commando thing inside of the Console plugin. This seems overly complicated for what I want to do.
Really, I just want to be able to be able to associate some keystroke or button or whatever with an arbitrary shell command, which automatically can take the buffer's filename (or parts thereof) as parameters. For example, in UltraEdit (which is what I've been using, up until this experiment with jEdit), I have some keystrokes set up to do the following:
c89 %F -Wversion3 -Wsystype="guardian" -Werrors=10 -Wsyntax -Wextensions -Wverbose
And that "%F" in there is automatically replaced by the filename of the buffer. So, with just a simple set of keystrokes, I can invoke my chosen operation on the current buffer's file, using the options that I already know I want, and the output of the operation just pops up automatically.
Not only is this faster and easier than going through some popup GUI dialog generated by some Commando script, but also you don't have to go through the hassle of writing the Commando script in the first place.
Is there a way to do something like this in jEdit?
By the way, I'm not intending to badmouth Commando - it seems like it will be very useful in some situations. It's just that in this situation, it seems like overkill for no benefit.
