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.
