Is there a way to perform system calls from SP-Forth, under Linux? Basically, I want to use bash commands, like ls, cd, cp, etc. For example, from bigforth, it is quite easy to call bash commands:

~/frt/docs$ bigforth 

             ANS bigFORTH 386-Linux rev. 2.4.0


ls c* 
compact.pdf   cover.pdf      ok

BTW, I don't need implementation of each bash function. Something like the Swift Forth $ word will do. 

~/frt/SwiftForth$ bin/linux/sf 
SwiftForth i386-Linux 3.4.5 03-Oct-2012 
$ ls 
bin  fib.f  LICENSE	  martinBrad.f~  pbrad.f  src
doc  lib    martinBrad.f  #pbrad.f#	 sieve.f  unsupported
 ok
