- The 'shell' and '!' commands suspend NOS and let you escape to a
- sub-shell (e.g. COMMAND.COM in DOS).
-
- If 'multitask' is set to 'off', NOS activity is frozen whilst you
- are working under the sub-shell.
-
- When you leave the sub-shell (with the EXIT command in DOS), you
- are returned to NOS.
-
- Note that for the 'shell' and '!' commands to be useful there
- must be sufficient unused memory for the sub-shell and any
- commands which you wish to run under the sub-shell.
-
- You can also execute an external DOS command from NOS.
-
- [Internal DOS commands such as 'cd' or 'dir' or 'copy' do not
- work].

- >> Examples: !
- sh
- ! edlin test
- ! xcopy autoexec.nos a:
- ! map
