  Builtin Commands

  Builtin commands may be used like ordinary commands in the
  command line. Most builtins begin with the @ sign.  Unknown
  commands will be passed to the shell ($COMSPEC).

  @CHDRV
    Brings up the drive select box (like c-D).

  @CHMOD
    Changes the attributes of the currently selected file(s)
    (like c-A).

  @CLEAR
    Clears the screen (like c-L).

  @COPY
    Copies all currently selected files (like c-FC).

  @DELETE
    Deletes all currently selected files (like c-FD).

  @EDIT <file-name>
    Runs the default editor and loads <file-name>.
    A file name *must* be specified. (See also c-E)

  @EXEC <file-name>
    Executes <file-name> *directly*. No shell features may be used
    in an @exec command. This means that no redirection and pipes
    [ < > | ] may be used and no batch files may be run using
    @exec.

  @GOTO
    Locates a file in the current directory (like c-G).

  @HIDE
    Hides the DIR-window (like c-U).

  @INFO
    Displays information about tagged files (like c-T).

  @MKDIR
    Create  a new directory (c-FK).

  @MOVE
    Moves all currently selected files (like c-FM).

  @QCD
    Run QuickCD (like c-Q).

  @QFF
    Run QuickFF (like c-K).

  @RMTREE
    Removes a complete directory tree (like c-FR).

  @SORTFILES
    Pops up the sort criteria menu (like c-FS).

  @TAG
    Tags files (like '+').

  @UNTAG
    Untags files (like '-').

  @VIEW[.mode] <file-name>
    Views <file-name> using the builtin browser. When no .mode is
    given, the default mode will be used. @view works like c-V.
    The following view modes exist:
      .ASCII -- plain ASCII
      .DUMP  -- character dump
      .HEX   -- hex dump
      .ROFF  -- RUNOFF Output
      .SCR   -- Forth screens (64x16)

  @WINMOVE
    Moves the active DIR-window (like c-ZM).

  @WINSIZE
    Re-sizes the active DIR-window (like c-ZR).


  Environment Variables

  $VARIABLE can be used to access environment variables. The
  following example uses the default shell to process a batch
  file:

      $COMSPEC /c test.bat

  And this one displays the current path:

      echo $PATH
