Launch LPEX editor from QSHELL terminal

Using RSE. It would be cool if I could find a way to launch LPEX editor when operating in QSHELL shell terminal. I know I can open IFS directories and perform the operation there. But having that option in QSHELL terminal is desirable.


Use Case:

RDI has option to open a Qshell terminal. The ability to launch LPEX to edit stmf from the shell command line will be very productive.
