This is disappointing. I understand the compatibility issues raised above, but losing this feature on windows is not a change for the better. I'm not asking windows to be unix, but access to shell commands of some sort would be nice. There's very little difference between ;ls and ;dir, but there is a significant different between ;dir and run(`cmd dir`). Just to be sure, do you mean iPython with Python? Or Jupyther a fork of it, > that works with Julia (and python)? Specifically, I am referring to a Jupyter notebook running an Anaconda Python 3.5 kernel, versus that same notebook running a Julia 0.4.2 kernel on Windows 10. With the Python kernel active, the shell magic command %ls works. With the Julia kernel running, ;ls fails (as does ;dir, or any other call to a shell command). Jason
