5.4.1

Editing DOS Files

Select Edit Any File from the Commands menu to edit DOS files only.

Except for .LOG and .XRF files, you cannot use this command to edit

files created by the Executive software. Figure 5.14 illustrates the Edit

a File dialog box.
A list box with all the available directories and files in the current

drive\library will be displayed. You can change the path displayed by

entering the desired path in the space provided. Select the file you

want to edit. Although all files in the subdirectory will be listed, they

cannot all be edited. The Programing Executive will display a

message if the selected item cannot be edited. You can make the

selection from the list box or you can enter the filename in the text

box. The filename can contain a wildcard character (*). All matching

files will be displayed in the list box. For example, entering *.TXT

would display all the text files in the current drive\directory and allow

you to select the file to be edited. After you make a selection and

click on OK, the text editor will come up on the screen.

Kermit Communications Software

Select Kermit from the Commands menu to access the Kermit

communications utility. Kermit allows your computer to emulate a

terminal or to transfer software to and from another computer. Your

computer must first be connected to the host computer or another

personal computer via a serial port. See the Kermit Reference Manual

(JĆ3616) for information about using Kermit. Type EXIT at the KERMIT

prompt to close the Kermit utility and return to the System

Configuration screen.
