File Services / Compile a BASIC File

This command will prompt the operator to enter the name of the A-B
VBASIC program to be compiled. If any errors are encountered you will be
given an option to view them. Otherwise, no messages are generated. This
operation creates an A-B VBASIC file (.LXE) that can be downloaded to a
workstation.

File Services / Kill Files in a DH5

This command prompts the user to specify the name of the file to delete and
then prompts for the workstation number of the workstation which this file
resides. Files are killed on a workstation by downloading a A-B VBASIC
program specifically for that purpose. This means that any program currently
running will be aborted and will have to be re–loaded after the kill.

File Services / Exit to DOS Shell

Execute this command to leave NM in memory and exit. In this manner you
can execute DOS commands or other programs, then type the word EXIT at
the DOS command prompt to get back into NM.

Note: NM does not continue to poll the master during a DOS shell.
