A '''foreign command''' is a [[Symbol|symbol]] that represents the file specification of a non-DCL image and can be used to invoke that image. The dollar sign in front of the file specification is required since it implies a RUN command.

<nowiki>
$ PRINTALL :== $[ACCOUNTS]PRINTALL
</nowiki>

For the image file specification, the default device and directory name is [[SYS$SYSTEM]], the default file type is .EXE, and the default file version number is the highest version, so the foreign command above will run PRINTALL.EXE; located in SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ACCOUNTS].
