**fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 3 (KeyCmds:WinKeys): go **
===== Go -- Execute a command string =====
**usage: "cmd" flg G**

The GO interactive command allows you to specify a character string, CMD, and then execute that string as either a command line sequence or as a an interactive command sequence. If the string argument CMD is omitted, the GO command will prompt you to enter the string interactively.

The FLG argument allows you to select GO options:
  FLG: 0 - execute CMD as an interactive command sequence
       1 - (default) execute CMD as a fScan command line
       2 - append CMD to command buffer (CMDTEXT), do not execute yet
       4 - execute all commands in buffer (CMDTEXT) (see NOTE below)
      32 - do not do '$' string substitutions on CMD
      64 - just echo commands without executing them
  
  NOTE: Even FLAG values will be executed as interactive command strings,
    and Odd FLAG values will be executed as command line commands.

**Examples:**
    G           - prompt the user to enter a fScan command line
   0G           - prompt the user to enter a fScan interactive command string
  
   "-o"G        - save the current window as a disk file, using the
                  window name as the file name
  
   "-set accept fname 'Enter file name:' -o $fname"G
                - prompt the user to enter a file name,
                  then save the current window with that name
