execute (Command)
execute [ command | { cmd1; [ cmd2; …]}]
This command causes the command in the command subwindow to be performed (as does the ENTER key at the command line).
When used with the command option, it defers evaluation of variables until runtime. With the map, alias, and print commands, this means that evaluation is delayed until the action is triggered.
Examples
exe cp $filename $filename.bak
execute {cp $filename $filename.bak; save;}
exec print composed printer="\\HP100PS\PS686" file=$print_file
