SYSTEM: Execute System Command
During an interactive MAD session the command SYSTEM
can be used to execute operating system commands.
After execution of the system command, successful or not,
control returns to MAD.
At present this command is only available under UNIX or VM/CMS.
It has two formats:
SYSTEM,CMD=string;
SYSTEM,string; // shortcut
The string string must be a valid operating
system command.
