Ctty
Purpose:
Lets you change the device from which you issue commands.
Syntax:
ctty device
Comments:
The device parameter specifies the device from which you are giv
ing commands to ms-dos. Ctty is useful if you want to change the
device on which you are working. In this command, the letters tty
represent the console; that is, your keyboard.
Examples:
The following command moves all command I/O (input/output)
from the current device (the console) to an AUX port such as
another terminal:
ctty aux
The next command moves I/O back to the console:
ctty con
Note There are many programs that do not use ms-dos for input,
output, or either. These programs send input directly to the hard
ware on your computer. The ctty command has no effect on these
programs; it affects only programs that use ms-dos.
