<p>Hello,</p>
<p>In the dos() help page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.1/en_US/dos.html">https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.1/en_US/dos.html</a> ,<br>
it is written:</p>
<i>Standard output and standard errors of the shell command are
written in the calling shell.</i>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures:
normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;
letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;
display: inline !important; float: none;">However, for instance
the commands</span></p>
<p><font size="-1"><tt>--> consolebox on</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> dos dir // shows nothing in the consolebox</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>--> </tt><tt>dos dira // shows no error in the
consolebox</tt><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures:
normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;
letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;
text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;
display: inline !important; float: none;">The same behavior can
be seen as soon as with Scilab 5.0 (where consolebox has been
introduced).. and up to 5.5.2 and 6.0.1 now.<br>
</span></p>
Is it a dos() bug, or a documentation error?<br>

PS: by the way, dos(), unix*() and host() are duplicates. More code,
more bugs..<br>
