File Services / File / Chain Download
Data being downloaded to a workstation destined to reside in file memory as
a file needs to be downloaded using this command. Specify the name of the
file to be downloaded and number of the workstation that it is destined for.
Any program that is to be CHAINED to later on must also be downloaded
using this option.
File Services / Directory Listing
If a workstation number is specified, a directory of the workstation specified
will appear.
Note: The user should realize that this feature is supplied by a program that
is downloaded to the workstation specified. The program opens the DIR
device and reads it and writes it to the HOST device. So, any program that is
running will be terminated, and will have to be re–loaded afterward.
File Services / Read / Display File
This command prompts you to enter the DOS path \ filename of the text file
to be displayed.
Once you press <ENTER> after the filename the screen will
display the file. Hit <ESC> to get back to the menu. The arrow keys, <PAGE
DOWN>, <PAGE UP>, <HOME> and <END> are available for viewing the
file.
File Services / Edit a Text File
This command calls the text editor that you specified in the Directories and
File Names menu.
There is no default editor therefore you must specify an editor to use.
To use you own editor consult the section labeled: Change Configuration /
File / Data Capture / Directory / File Names.
