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
