You can do this with menu commands, but not the SYSTEM command in
processing.  Prefix the command line with "++" and it will run the
command via perl.  (You can set PFPERL to point to the perl binary
if it's not on the path.  You can also use "+SOMETHING+" and filePro
will use the environment variable "SOMETHING" as the command shell.)

However, this is just commands from user menus.
