ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.2) _______________________________________________________________________________ eval "Ce command string" "perform environment variable subsitution" DESCRIPTION: The 'eval' performs environment variable substitution into an arbitrary set of Ce commands, runs the substituted string through the parser, and executes the commands. Normally symbolic substitution of environment variables is only performed in arguments to the ce, cv, pn, and cp(ceterm) commands and the file name in cmdf, xc, xd, and xp when a real file (as opposed to an X paste buffer) is accessed. When and whether to do symbolic substitution can be a complicated issue. This is especially true if the user wants to click on file names which have the '$' character in the name. This is why the -envar command line option and the Ce.envar X resource exist. The eval command allows precise user control over the substitution. Substitution is performed when the eval command is executed before the resulting command line is parsed. PARAMETERS "Ce command string" - The list Ce commands. optionally in quotes.
