OSCLI&FFF7

When calling the OSCLI routine from machine code you will need to use the absolute address &40F7. However, when CALLing this routine from BBC BASIC it is recommended that you use the BBC Micro-compatible address &FFF7.

This routine passes a string to the command-line interpreter. It performs the same job as the OSCLI BASIC statement.

On entry HL should point to the CR-terminated command string. Any leading '*'s and spaces are skipped.
