RESIDENT COMMANDS
The
TYPE
Command
The
TYPE command allows you
to
display the contents of any file within the
same or a different drive.
1.
Let's
say
you
have
a
file
with the name
SAVE.MEM.
You
would TYPE
it
in
the
following manner:
FORMAT:
TYPE
x.y
[RETURN]
EXAMPLE:
A)TYPE
SAYE.M»M
[RETURN]
RESULT:
If
you actually had
this
file on your disk, you would have the
contents
of this
file displayed on your screen.
2.
There
may
be
times
when
you
need
to
TYPE
files
on
other drives. To do
this, use the following format:
FORMAT:
TYPE
d:fRename.ext
[RETURN]
EXAMPLE:
A)TYPE
B;PROTOCOL.PAN
[RET~RN]
RESULT:
The file PROTOCOL.PRN on Drive B would
be
displayed on your screen.
The
TPA
Command
The
TP A (Transient Program Area) command will allow you
to
get
back
to
the
last
program from CP/M, as long
as
that
program
is
still
in
memory. Many
times,
while you
are
working within a program (Memorite, ExecuPlan), you
may
decide
to
quit and go
to
CP/M. The TPA command
lets
you go
directly
from
CP
1M
to
the
last
file you worked on in a particular program.
