ENVIRON "name=(parameter)"

This command apparently functions the same as the SET
command used at the DOS level. See page 10-21 of your DOS
2.0 guide

SHELL "dos command"

The command apparently executes the DOS command contained
within the quotes, keeping BASIC resident. The cursor is
returned to the position where it was prior to executing the
command. If used by itself (no arguments) will take you to
the DOS shell. To return from the DOS shell, you only have
to type EXIT.

IOCTL channel#,"argument"

This function is used to sommunicate with device drivers
that use the IOCTL function. The only reference to IOCTL is
on page 14-6 of the DOS 2.0 guide.
