For.doc
"For" work only under KS2.0+
"For" is a foreach command. For each object (file/dir) which pattern
(name pattern or FileType pattern) "For" execute the specified command
replacing all %% (maximum 5) by the name of the current file.
Eg:
For *.doc DO copy %% to DOC:
Search all file ine current dir which match to *.doc and execute
the command: "copy file.doc to DOC:"
For SYS: Type "%*(Icon)" DO Protect %% -d
Look in the SYS: and subdirs for file which was recognised by
whatis.library as Icon (or subtype of Icon) and execute the command:
"Protect iconfile -d"
For also parse an environement varable called "For.DefOpts" Before
your CLI args.
