shell Enters the shell interactively or executes shell commands from the DSEE environment. Format shell [shell_command...] Description The shell command, which you may abbreviate to sh, enters the current shell environment interactively, or, if you specify actual shell commands as arguments, passes those commands to the current shell for execution. Here is an example of issuing shell with an argument: DSEE> shell ld ?*.pas If you issue the shell command without arguments, you'll immediately see the shell's prompt in place of the DSEE prompt. You can issue any shell command or execute any operation controlled by the shell from this process. To exit from the shell and re-enter the DSEE environment, type CTRL/Z. The set shell command, also described in this chapter, sets the current shell environment, which is part of your working context. When you exit the DSEE environment and then re-enter it later, DSEE restores the current shell in effect when you exited. Note to DOMAIN/IX users: when you invoke a DOMAIN/IX Shell process from within the DSEE environment with the shell command and set your working directory, the setting lasts for the life of the shell process only. The command DSEE> shell cd /usr/foo will not change your working directory to /usr/foo for subsequent DSEE commands. If you wish to change your working directory for subsequent DSEE commands, use the DSEE cd command. For example, DSEE> cd /usr/foo
