Issuing MPE/iX Commands From Within Telnet/iX 

You can enter MPE/iX commands by preceding the command name with an
exclamation point (!).  The command will execute, and return you to the
telnet> prompt on completion.  For example you can list your current
group files on your local system with the LISTF command as follows: 

     telnet> !LISTF

     telnet> !LISTF,2

                                 Table 3-1.

From within the Telnet/iX Client, you cannot change groups.  To list
files in other than the current group, include the group name in the
LISTF command.  For example:

     telnet> !LISTF @.group1

You can also run programs such as an editor from the Telnet/iX Client.
Upon exiting the program, you are returned to the telnet> prompt if you
did not originally have a remote connection.

You can also issue MPE/iX commands while connected to a remote host.
Type [CTRL]-] to get the Telnet prompt, and issue the command preceded by
the exclamation point (!)  as above.
