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.

WARNING Do 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 removable media. Load

Terminate-and-Stay-Resident programs into memory before starting this program.
