system command - problem resolved

[pmahler at malen.com]

Unfortunatly I do not have access to the exact processing today. Dennis will 
return on Monday and I will have him quote the processing. It is my 
understanding that the variables are defined, the SYSTEM command is used 
(the one dennis posted before) and END. I do not believe the NOREDRAW is 
being used.

Ctrl-L will redraw the screen while in update mode.

Thanks
Paul
