ISSUING DOS COMMANDS FROM WITHIN PC-TYPE+
As long as sufficient memory is still available, you may perform any
DOS command you wish without exiting PC-TYPE+. To accomplish this,
move the cursor to the Command Line by pressing the Esc key if you are
not already on the Command Line.
On the Command Line type the following and then press the Enter key:
DOS DIR *.exe
All the .EXE files on your current directory should be listed just as
they normally would if you were in DOS itself. You are then prompted
with the message:
Press a letter key to continue ...
At which point you will return to this editing session.
Press the PgDn Key
Any DOS command may be issued in this manner:
(1) Move the cursor to the Command Line
(2) Type DOS followed by a space and then the desired command
(3) Then press the Enter key or F10.
(4) When the command is completed and you are asked to press a
letter key, do so and you will return to your editing session.
Note: You may actually run any program in this manner without exiting
PC-TYPE+. However, PC-TYPE+ and the file(s) you may be editing
will still be in memory, so there may not be enough memory left
to run large programs.
If you had a program named PROG.EXE, you could run it without
leaving PC-TYPE+ by typing
DOS PROG
on the Command Line.
