9.13 Fw

The `fw` command allows FunnelWeb proper to be invoked from a shell script. The syntax is almost identical to the syntax with which FunnelWeb is invoked from the operating system.

    Syntax  : fw = "fw" s ordinary_funnelweb_command_line
    Examples: fw sloth +t +d
              fw -l walrus

Some important points about this `fw` command are:

- Options are inherited from the default shell options.
- The `F` (input file option) must be turned on.
- The `K`, `H`, and `X` options must be turned off.
- The `J` option must be turned off.
- The options specified in a `fw` command do not affect the default shell options.
- This command performs no action in the OpenVMS version of FunnelWeb.
