---------------------------------------------

Hi [~richsharples],
old RFE resurected ;-). Would ou be able to provide some command examples on how you would like to achieve your use case?

Time to time I need to have access to the filesystem from the CLI in order to read the content of a file or simply list the content of a directory. It seems that this requirement is in he same area.
One possibility would be to put the CLI in background. For example Ctrl-Z, have the OS shell visible, do the OS stuff, and 'fg' the CLI back. This is not Windows compliant, we would need something that would work on all platforms.
Thanks.
JF

> It would be really useful to be able to escape to an (OS) shell from the CLI - most Linux commands / shells allow you to do this with eg. "!".
