Description
This a shell built-in command that causes the process executing the
shell to start execution of another program. It permits a transition
from the shell to another program without creating another process,
thus conserving system memory.
This command is often used when the shell is called from another
program to execute a specific program, after which the shell is not
needed. For instance, applications which only use BASIC09 need not
waste memory space on SHELL.
The ex command should always be the last command on a shell input
line because any command line following will never be processed.
NOTE: Since this is a built-in SHELL command, it does not appear in
the CMDS directory.
