shell(2)

NAME

shell - Create a new command processor or shell

SYNOPSIS

shell (C-x c) 

DESCRIPTION

shell-command creates a new command processor or shell. Upon exiting the shell, MicroEmacs '99 redraws its screen and continues editing. The exceptions to this are as follows:

X-Windows


A new xterm is spawned off and editing control is returned to MicroEmacs '99 once the xterm has initialized.

Microsoft Windows


A new MS-DOS shell is created and control is returned to MicroEmacs '99 once the DOS console window has initialized. The shell created is determined by the MS-DOS environment variable COMSPEC, this may be a replacement shell e.g. 4DOS.
