System command from a stored procedure?

In ORACLE*Forms I can execute an operating system command (in this case a simple UNIX "cd") with something like:
HOST('cd /usr/local/bin');

Is it possible to create an operating system command from within a stored procedure? None of the books I have makes mention of it, and when I tried a simple stored procedure it wouldnt compile.

Thanks, Mark
