What do you consider to be the "DataStage system prompt"?
If you are talking from inside a dssh/TCL session, I can't think of a single reason to do that... do it from the O/S.

For example, if the file is in the project directory (which is called &UFD& for reasons that aren't relevant here),
UV.VI &UFD& filename
Alternatively you can run a shell and run
vi within that shell.

Figured you could shell out, but still... [shrug]
