There's a reference page for "special characters" in the documentation; the
bang operator ! is listed on that page. There's also a help file that you
can access using HELP PUNCT (for help on punctuation characters.)

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/specialcharacters.html

The SYSTEM, DOS, and UNIX reference pages also list ! in their See Also
sections (although that text is not a hyperlink in the DOS reference page --
I'll ask the documentation staff to correct that.)

If you need to execute a system command and you need to use a variable or an
expression to construct that command, use SYSTEM as us suggested.
