system:
Syntax: system ( "command" )
Description:
The system function behaves like the the UNIX system call. The
string argument to system is passed directly to the
bourne-shell for execution. The program waits until the
system call is finished.
Example:
> system( "vi test.r" )
will allow the user to edit (create) the file test.r. When the
vi process is finished the user will be back at the RLaB
prompt.
> rfile test
will then load the result of the vi process.
