- Have a look in your AmigaDOS manual. .key is used for scripts, like this:
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- .key PATH
- .bra {
- .ket }
-
- cd {PATH}
- delete #? all
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The above script deletes all files in the argument sent to it, i.e.
-
- 1> deld dh0:games
-
-
- ".key dummy" is an argument, parsed by ReadArgs ().
