Accesses operating system
commands.
Summary
When SHELL prompts you for an OS command, you
can enter most valid commands for your OS. When the command has
been executed, SHELL returns you to the Command prompt.
Pressing
Enter at the OS Command prompt displays the system prompt with an
extra close angle bracket (>). You can enter operating system
commands as if you were at the normal system prompt.
WarningDo not use the SHELL
command to delete lock files (file name extension .??k)
or temporary files (file name extensions .ac$ or .$a).
Do not use SHELL to run chkdsk, reset the serial I/O ports, or run
external programs that require disk swapping while editing a drawing
stored on a floppy disk. Load Terminate-and-Stay-Resident programs
into memory before starting this program.
