Summary: execute a command under the operating system Argument: < system command >
The 'system' command is used to temporarily interrupt GENEHUNTER and start up a new command interpreter from the operating system. Commands which are normally typed to the operating system may then be issued. You can return to GENEHUNTER by typing 'exit' or control-D in most operating systems. If an argument is supplied to 'system', the argument is interpreted just as a normal command issued to the operating system. For example:
npl:4> system lp results.out
would execute the printing command on your operating system and then return control immediately to GENEHUNTER.
