All of this can be customized via the filesets-commands variable. This 
really is just a proposal for a hopefully useful command. It's not 
essential.

The call originates in filesets-run-cmd that runs a command as defined 
in filesets-commands on the files belonging to a fileset. 
filesets-run-cmd can be called via the menu or interactively from the 
command line. A command can be either a function or a string (which is 
interpreted as name of a shell command). By default, the following 
commands are defined:

    - Query Replace
    - Query Replace (regexp)
    - Grep <<selection>>
    - Run Shell Command

The command in question is the last one on the list, which could be used 
for running rarely used shell commands that aren't worth customizing 
filesets-commands.

If you look at filesets-commands, you'll see that "Run Shell Command" is 
defined as (filesets-cmd-shell-command 
(filesets-cmd-shell-command-getargs)), where 
filesets-cmd-shell-command-getargs does nothing but query the user for a 
shell command. So, txt is the user input, i.e. some text/string like 
"grep foo %s".

BTW in filesets-commands, filesets uses <<file-name>> to insert the 
buffer's filename, so this is a minor inconsistency but %s is shorter & 
more convenient in this situation.

HTH.
