If you had a program such as example below ED BP TEST.BREAK 3 lines long. : P 0001: PRINT ENTER NAME : 0002: INPUT NAME 0003: EXECUTE LIST VOC :NAME Bottom at line 3. RUN BP TEST.BREAK ENTER NAME ?~DOS /c DIR It will list the VOC then execute the DOS command DIR. In Unix the SH shell

Given that a paragraph is delimited by @FM (or @VM as one poster suggested), and that these can be entered through the keyboard (for example Ctrl-^ for @FM, Ctrl-] for @VM, Ctrl-\ for @SM), I wonder could these be the magic characters penno is seeking? Don't have access to test at the moment,

Hi Brian I can achieve it with Ray's control character or paste it from another application. This does not work from TCL, but does work in an execute command within a program as demonstrated below, allowing a user to get to operating system commands. Regards David Jordan If you had a program

Oh ho. This is really something. Thanks very much guys. Yeah, works for me too. No problem. Unix commands (the SH -c does indeed work) or UV commands. Take ya pick. We've got an insert routine for inputs, which *does* filter out the field markers. Problem is there's no mandate to use it, and

Penno: As far as I know, this won't work. However, I can think of three ways to accomplish this: 1) Use a 3rd party tcl shell/stacker that allows execution of multiple lines in the stack. E.g. :.x3,4,17 ...where the 3rd, 4th, and 17th command in the stack are: 003 !ls -l 004 !cat file 017

I don't believe there is a native command/option to do this in UV. In BASIC you can do this by delimiting each command with mark-character (eg., @FM) and 'execute' the string with the EXECUTE statement. So you could create your own pseudo UV command prompt parser. Some commands can't or shouldn't
