Vim's :shell command works just fine. If you are having trouble
with it, perhaps Vim, your shell or your terminal is misconfigured.

The :shell command executes the command given by the 'shell' option.
The value of 'shell' comes from the SHELL environment variable. If
SHELL is not set, Vim uses sh. See
:help 'shell'
To see which shell Vim is using and why, execute
:set shell?
:echo $SHELL
If SHELL is not set to your preferred shell, you can set it in your
shell's rc file or in ~/.profile. Be sure to export it as well.

Vim's shell escape works very well (except under Windows). If you
are having problems with it, please provide the operating system you
are using, the version of Vim you are using (e.g., the first four
lines of the output of ":version"), the value of the 'shell' option,
and explain exactly the steps you take when you observe the problem.
Provide enough detail so that someone else should be able to
reproduce the problem. Also describe the results you expect and the
results you get instead. The more clear and accurate you are, the
more easily someone here will be able to identify the problem and
suggest a fix.

Gary
