Entering an alphanumeric key as the first character of the command line will erase the previous
command line. Again, an <Esc> will restore the previous command line. Hit <Enter> to have the
program process the command line.
The output area of the screen displays the last few commands that were entered and the program's
response to each command.
Command-File Mode
In this mode the program reads commands from a disk file and sequentially processes them until the
end of the file is reached. The screen is again divided into an output area and an input area, but in this
case the input area is about 30% of the screen and scrolls throughout the text of the command file.
The processing of the command lines can be continuous or in step-mode under control of the
keyboard. The command file may contain continuous/step-mode commands to allow manual
intervention in command-file processing. By default, the command-file mode is commenced in
continuous mode but this may be over-ridden by a command on the command line.
CMD300 @SOMECMDS
CMD300 STEP @SOMECMDS
The first of the above invocations of CMD300 will automatically process the command lines in file
SOMECMDS.CMD until the end of the file is reached, or until processing is suspended by a "STEP"
command in the command file, or until processing is interrupted by an <Esc> from the keyboard. By
contrast, the second of the above invocations will cause the program to enter into command-file mode
and present the first command line in file SOMECMDS.CMD as the current command. Keyboard
input will be required before any commands are executed. Note that by default the command-file
extension is *.CMD.
When in Step mode, the user can also enter commands manually at any time by typing the desired
command and hitting <Enter> to process the command line. Note that the CONTINUOUS command
can be entered manually in Step mode to cause the switch to continuous mode. The user can also
move around in the command file by using the <Up>, <Down>, <PgUp>, <PgDn>, <Home>, and
<End> keys.
