Yes. Depending on how the external program should be executed and where its output should be displayed, one of the following commands can be used to run an external program or batch file:

• OS.Area <cmdline> — Executes the command and displays its output in the AREA window. The PRACTICE script waits until the command has completed.

• OS.Window <cmdline> — Executes the command and displays its output in a new TRACE32 window. The PRACTICE script waits until the command has completed.

• OS.screen <cmdline> — Opens a host shell and executes the command. The execution is non-blocking.

• OS.Hidden <cmdline> — Executes the command without displaying its output. The PRACTICE script waits until the command has completed.

• OS.Command <cmdline> — Executes the command using the host operating system's command mechanism. It can be used for shell features such as output redirection. On Windows, the PRACTICE script does not block; on other operating systems, use & to make the execution non-blocking.
