Yes, since filepro v4.1.  Exerpt from Laura's Help Files:

 v1.0    USER alias=command  - Execute an external program, asynchronously.

 Restriction: UNIX platforms only.                                              

 Enhancement: v4.1 The BREAK key will be disabled for the user program
              and the USER program may be CLOSE'd.

The command would be (my added comment):

  Then: CLOSE alias ''''' NOT: x = CLOSE(alias)
