Yes, Interpret will handle this, but is unnecessary.  One of the beauties
of REXX is that unrecognized commands get passed onto the command shell
automatically.  Thus, you can do the following:

Cmd = 'ERASE'
File = 'D:\This\is\my\file'
Cmd File

There's actually very little that REQUIRES the use of interpret.  It's
a little like GOTO -- very powerful, very easy to misuse.  You could
use interpret to execute a REXX command dynamically, for example.  The
following program will allow you to type in (and execute) any REXX
commands.  Try it - it's useful for learning new REXX commands.

/**/
do forever
  parse pull cmd
  interpret cmd
end
