Isn't the CR EOT (ctrl-D) sequence the way Apple DOS recognises
commands while ProDOS detects the PRINT Applesoft token execution and
then looks for a control-D?

Shouldn't a C program running under BASIC.SYSTEM use the BE03 DOSCMD
vector to pass a command to BASIC.SYSTEM? See section A.3.1 of the P8
TRM.

Hmm, it says that this only works in deferred mode so you would need a
small BASIC program to run the C program.
