 RUNNING ONE DOS COMMAND

 Pressing Alt-V allows you to enter one DOS command or filename
 to run. This command is then executed and control is returned
 to Telix. As can be seen this is similar to the DOS shell, but
 is useful when you have only one command to enter. There are
 many uses for this command. For example, if your file viewing
 utility is called 'List', you could press Alt-V and then enter
 'List TELIX.DOC'. This would load your file view utility and
 let you look at the TELIX.DOC file. After you terminated this
 program you would be back in Telix. Any DOS command is legal,
 for example 'copy a:*.arc c:', or 'ren data dat1'. If for some
 reason you might want Telix to pause after the command is fin-
 ished, add a ';' character to the end of the command string,
 for example 'type TELIX.DOC;'. This stops the last screen-full
 typed from scrolling by too quickly when control returns to
 Telix.
