CALL|_   externalcommand
CAL|_

The Unix or shell or DOS command `externalcommand' is passed on to external execution.

When the external command is finished, exaEdit displays the message

exaEdit: Press Enter, when you have seen everything

if the program was in the window mode, before. When you have pressed the key, exaEdit is in the same status as before.

If exaEdit was in the line mode before you called the external command, the message

exaEdit: External command ended

shows the finishing of the external command. Any command that can be called in the normal status of a Unix session or Windows command line is possible.

When you wish to continue using exaEdit while an external command is executed in Unix, you add an & at the end of the external command, as usual in Unix.
