OS Command view

This view allows input of OS (UNIX-, DOS- or VMS-) commands. Type in a command there and enter "Return". The corresponding string will be sent to the OperatingSystem as a command and the commands output is inserted at the current cursor position in the contents view.

Commands are OS-specific; under Windows-NT/95, the command must be a DOS-Box command (such as "dir" or "nmake").
Under UNIX, it must be a valid UNIX-command (such as "ls -l" or "make").

The command view keeps a history of commands - you can select a previous command by pressing the "Cursor-UP" and "Cursor-DOWN" keys.
(you can of course edit previous commands and execute the modified command by hitting "Return".)
