SHELL command (SHELL command wordflag) Under Unix, outputs the result of running "command" as a shell command. (The command is sent to /bin/sh, not csh or other alternatives.) If the command is a literal list in the instruction line, and if you want a backslash character sent to the shell, you must use \\ to get the backslash through Logo's reader intact. The output is a list containing one member for each line generated by the shell command. Ordinarily each such line is represented by a list in the output, as though the line were read using READLIST. If a second input is given, regardless of the value of the input, each line is represented by a word in the output as though it were read with READWORD. Example: to dayofweek output first first shell [date] end This is "first first" to extract the first word of the first (and only) line of the shell output. Under MacOS X, SHELL works as under Unix. SHELL is not available under Mac Classic. Under DOS, SHELL is a command, not an operation; it sends its input to a DOS command processor but does not collect the result of the command. Under Windows, the wxWidgets version of Logo behaves as under Unix (except that DOS-style commands are understood; use "dir" rather than "ls"). The non-wxWidgets version behaves like the DOS version.
