This is a shell command, completely seperate from macros, including
the shell_command() function. You should be able to use the same
syntax as directly in the shell, provided that you
- use the same shell within NEdit and interactively.
- don't have non/interactive stuff mixing things up (eg. no aliases
  within NEdit).

seems a rather flimsy excuse.
