- To run a command at a nice, possibly lower, priority.

- SSPPEECCIIFFIICCAATTIIOONN
- Since the Amiga is multitasking, it uses priority numbers
- to determine the order in which current tasks should be
- serviced. Normally, most tasks have a priority of 0, and
- the time and instruction cycles of the CPU are divided
- equally among them.
-
- LLOOWWEERR executes the specified command line with the prior
- ity lowered by _v_a_l_u_e. If no BBYY option is specified a
- default value of 1 is used. If a negative value is speci
- fied the priority will be raised instead. The resulting
- priority will be between -128 and +10. This is enforced
- silently.
-
- The SSTTAACCKK option sets the stack size of the command to be
- executed. Default is to use the current stack size.
-
- The _c_o_m_m_a_n_d _l_i_n_e is any valid shell command line; i.e., it
- is possible to use redirection, aliases, resident commands
- etc.
-
- LLOOWWEERR leaves the value of the executed command in the con
- dition flags RC and Result2.
