This option allows the execution of one or more system-level commands without leaving and re-starting the echmenu shell task.
The command is prompted for with 'System - '. A valid command should be entered. If more than one command is required then the csh command should be given to initiate a fully independent process. This process must be terminated by a CTRL-D command in order to return to the echmenu shell task.
This option can be used to perform system commands like `ls', and also Starlink package commands such as FIGARO IMAGE etc.
System commands can also be entered directly at the Option: prompt by making the first character a $. Thus
$ls
would execute the single system command ls, and return to the main menu.
