Chapter 3 System Management

As its name implies, the execute function will pass a command to the host
operating system.  This allows the user to remain in LTPlus while invoking a
UNIX/Xenix operating system command.  The keyboard and display are returned to
their default conditions while the executed command is underway.  Upon
completion of the executed system command, the user is returned to the LTPlus
environment.
