(Thank you Eldaran, I skimmed and missed it :P)

One day I was (apparently) rolling my face across the keyboard when I typed something along the lines of /ex<something> (maybe /execute?) by mistake and a huge list of directions appeared telling me the command was for executing a DOS/command line program from within EQ. It's purpose was to integrate third-party voice programs into the game.

I didn't mess with it at the time but it seemed kinda neat. I forgot about it until I read this thread

This is the /system command which allows you to control parts of the computer through a command prompt (Pretty neat if you use itunes since you can make macros for next, pause, back, volume up and down, etc.)

output of the comand when typed in EQ is

**** THIS IS A POWER USER COMMAND. BE CAREFUL! 
This command will allow you to execute a system command and pass arguments to it.  This command can be used to control various external applications most notably voice communication software that relies on system commands to join channels and control other features without having to leave the game.  Example: /system notepad c:\notes.txt 

NOTE: EnableSystemCommand=1 must be set in the [default] section of EQCLIENT.INI to enable this command. 

***** WARNING ***** THIS COMMAND PROVIDES THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY OF RUNNING THE COMMAND AT THE DOS PROMPT!  BE VERY CAREFUL AND DO NOT USE THIS COMMAND UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS FOR AND WHAT SYSTEM COMMANDS CAN DO IF ABUSED OR MISUSED!
