Yes, I wondered the same thing... EVAL is designed to "emulate" an I-type dictionary item. Hence, will only execute any command that you can successfully compile within an I-type. So it wouldn't allow what you have in your example.
You'd need a subroutine that could execute via EVAL to invoke a TCL or OS command indirectly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ross Ferris Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 6:13 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Stringing commands together on the command line.
