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

  ftp> :LISTF
To list files in other than the current group, include the group name in the LISTF command. For example: 

  ftp> :LISTF @.group1
You can also run programs such as an editor from FTP. Upon exiting the program, you are returned to the ftp> prompt.
