- DosMan from the CLI:
-
- One of the most requested freatures for DosMan has
- been for the ability to use it from the CLI.
-
- Well, here it is. DosMan.rx is the answer.
-
- It is quite easy to use. Here is what you do:
-
- 1. You must have REXXmast running. If you are using
- pre-2.0 versions of the Workbench then you must have
- AREXX installed on your system or update to Workbench 2.0
- or higher.
-
- 2. Open the CLI.
-
- 3. Change directories to the DosMan directory. It is
- important for the 'man' directory to be in the same
- directory as DosMan.rx.
-
- For instance, let's say that DosMan.rx is in the
- 'Work:DosMan' directory. In this case you should enter
- 'CD work:DosMan' to get to that directory.
-
- 4. Type 'rx DosMan.rx'.
-
- For more information on the 'rx' command see DosMan.
-
- 5. Now, just follow the directions as they come onto
- the screen.

- Customising DosMan.rx
- ---------------------
-
- Warning: Do this only if you are comfortable with
- AREXX!
-
- DosMan.rx is set up to print twenty lines of text at
- a time. If this is too many or too few line for your CLI
- then change the variable 'i'. I have the line clearly
- marked in DosMan.rx. As I wrote it, 'i' is set to 20
- (which is perfect for the size of my CLI). If you want
- only 15 lines to print, change the 20 to 15.
