Shell <F9> or <Alt F><O> or <Esc><F><O>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invokes a DOS shell. While in the shell, you can execute DOS and
other commands. When you are ready to leave the shell, type
"exit <Enter>". You will be back in QEdit, exactly where you
left off.
+---------------------------------+
| QEdit Tip: |
| You should NOT execute any |
| TSR (terminate and stay |
| resident) programs here. |
| These include the DOS PRINT |
| and GRAPH commands and |
| memory-resident programs |
| such as Sidekick and Superkey.|
+---------------------------------+
Once in the shell, QEdit will optionally append "[QE]" to the DOS
prompt string, provided that:
1) You have defined the prompt environment variable.
2) There is enough space left in the environment.
3) You have set the "Change DOS PROMPT during a Shell" option to
[Y]es. See QCONFIG, under Advanced options.
QEdit TSR will append "[QT]" to the prompt.
The prompt modification option was added in QEdit v2.1
