system

Enter the command:
 

to temporarily return to system or shell level to perform non-Autolog tasks, without disconnecting from your port or modem.

To exit the shell and resume your Autolog session, enter the appropriate command:

AMOS: Enter the command autlog.
DOS/Windows: Enter the command exit.
UNIX: Enter the command or keystroke used to exit your shell (the command exit or the keystroke control-D are commonly used, but this depends on your shell).

to perform one command or program at system level.

The system command may not use the same shell that you normally use. DOS and Windows systems will use COMMAND.COM, and UNIX systems will use the shell that the UNIX system() command uses.

The system command does not hang up the modem or disconnect from the communications port. Always re-enter Autolog at some point after temporarily exiting with the system command. Use the finish, quit, or chain command to permanently end your session and return to system or shell level.
