#### 4.12.4 Exec ¶

Syntax: `Exec`
Abbreviation: `EX`

prompts the user on the input line, asking for a command, and executes it. It is never registered while recording a macro (though the command you type is).

`Exec` is mainly useful for key bindings, menu configurations, and in manually programmed macros.

Note that if the command you specify does not appear in `ne`’s internal tables, it is considered to be a macro name. See Macro.
