- | Commands
- |
- | This file changes the commands which will be
- | invoked if the particular abbreviations are used.
- | In particular this allows the abbreviaton ba. to
- | mean "basic" rather than "back"
- |
- | You need to double click this command file for
- | some applications which depend on "ba." meaning
- | "basic".
- |
- *Set Alias$BUILD %Build %*0
- *Set Alias$BaSIC %Basic %*0
- *Set Alias$Back %Back %*0
- *Set Alias$Backup %Backup %*0
- |
- | The following causes the abbreviation chan. (or
- | ch.) to mean ChannelVoice rather than
- | ChangeDynamicArea
- |
- *Set Alias$ChannelVoice %ChannelVoice %*0
- |
- | You can add this file to !System.!Boot on your
- | system disc if you want these changes to occur
- | every time you reboot RISC OS, however we
- | recommend that you avoid the use of abbreviations
- | except as a convenience when typing commands at
- | the command line (if you ever do this).
- |
- | If you are writing an application you should NEVER
- | use abbreviations for commands. Always use the
- | full command name. Acorn attempts to ensure that
- | full command names remain unique even though new
- | commands are being written all the time, it is,
- | however, almost impossible to guarantee the
- | uniqueness of abbreviations.
