Filing system commands
Listed below are the commands available under the various filing systems. In
reality, many of the commands are handled by the MOS but, for the sake of
completeness, such commands are listed (and duplicated) under each filing
system heading.
Most commands may be abbreviated to their first few characters terminated by
a . -- where applicable; the minimum abbreviation for each command is given
in brackets after each command name.
Commands marked | | apply to facilities required only by advanced users; full
details can be found in the Reference Manual.
The ROM Filing System
| *CAT | (*.) | Display a catalogue (i.e. a list of filenames plus other |
| information) of all ROM Filing System ROMs. | ||
| *CLOSE | (*CL.) | Close all currently open RFS files. |
| *DUMP | (*D.) | Produce a hexadecimal dump of the named RFS file. |
| For example: | ||
| *DUMP MYFILE produces a dump of file MYFILE. | ||
| *EX | || | Similar to *CAT (above) except that it provides |
| additional information about each file. | ||
| *EXEC | (*E.) | Cause the MOS to take input from the named RFS |
| file rather that the keyboard. For example: | ||
| *EXEC START causes the MOS to take input from file | ||
| START . | ||
| *LIST | (*LI.) || | Display the content of the named RFS file in |
| GSREAD format with line numbers. | ||
| *LOAD | (*L.) || | Load the named RFS file into memory. |
| *0PT1 | (*0,1) | Adjust the level of output during file operations: |
| *OPT'1,0 suppresses output of all information; | ||
| *OPT'1 ,1 allows output of the filename, block count | ||
| and length; |
