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 !grep file string 2) Use a BASIC program command line compiler like: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BPTest ...where you can enter something like: :BPTEST TclLine = "!ls -l" : @VM : "!cat file" : @VM : "grep file string" ; EXECUTE TclLine ; END 3) Shell out to the O/S then do this if you want. Hope this helps.
