See system:open-pipe, system:call-system and
system:call-system-showing-output - they are documented in the
reference manual (but not in the user guide, I think, so it's not so
obvious).

It's not portable, but there are portable libraries which use
open-pipe (e.g. port-shell.lisp in clocc).

That will run call-system-showing-output, which may or may not be what
you want (if you want to parse the output of the shell command, you
need to use open-pipe).

Not necessarily.  You can wrap call-system-showing-output in
(with-output-to-string (*standard-output*) ...)

There are a number of ways. You'd probably be interested in

CALL-SYSTEM
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWRM/html/lwref-650.htm

OPEN-PIPE
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWRM/html/lwref-734.htm#15712

CALL-SYSTEM-SHOWING-OUTPUT
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWRM/html/lwref-651.htm#20692

RUN-SHELL-COMMAND
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWRM/html/lwref-742.htm#31535

Those are doc pages for CALL-SYSTEM and the function's in
CALL-SYSTEM's "See Also" section. Hope this helps,

Re: {Disarmed} Calling unix functions from Lispworks

I didn't know about HCL:GET-WORKING-DIRECTORY (but now I do, thanks!),
but there's also SYSTEM:CURRENT-DIRECTORY which is exported, but
doesn't seem to be documented (I only just realized that now).
However, it has the useful feature that it takes an optional
relative-directory:

CL-USER 11 > (sys:current-directory)
#P"/Users/tayloj/"

CL-USER 12 > (sys:current-directory #P"subdirectory1/subdirectory2/")
#P"/Users/tayloj/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/"
