COMMAND NAME:

        shell

USAGE:
        shell

        The shell command is used from Allegro to open a window to
the host operating system. The window provides full access to all
host system utilities. You can manipulate the window opened with the shell
 command like any other port in the native windowing system. 
Additionally, you can move the window outside the Allegro boundary
and turn the window into an icon on the desktop.

        The shell command can be executed by picking the Shell icon
or by entering shell on the command line.  When you execute shel
l, the Allegro Browser window displays a message that reads, "Sta
rting terminal window . .
."
