You can display the disk directory,
time and date without using DOS:
ED Display directory
OD Display date
OT Display time
Try each of these commands.
Note: the directory is hard to read in
the narrow window because it is
displayed four across. The following
command displays it two across:
2ED Display directory, 2 across
-- Give the command "MN" to continue --
The "OC" command will run a single DOS
command or program and immediately
return to VEDIT. "OC" is similar to the
menu function {MISC, Run DOS Program}.
OC dos-command
For example, to let DOS display the
directory and run the program CHKDSK,
give the following commands:
OC DIR (and <Enter>)
OC CHKDSK
Technical Note:
Although too complex for this demo, it
is possible to give the "OC" command
with a "variable" DOS command, i.e. the
DOS command is stored in a "text
register".
-- Give the command "MN" to continue --
To temporarily enter DOS give the "OS"
command. "OS" is identical to the menu
function {MISC, DOS Shell}.
The DOS prompt will be displayed as
"pathname>>". The double ">>" is a
reminder that you are still in VEDIT.
You can run as many DOS commands or
other programs as you like. Give the
DOS command "EXIT" to return to VEDIT.
REMEMBER: You must give the DOS command
"EXIT" to return to VEDIT and
this demo.
Type: OS (and <Enter>)
Technical note:
VEDIT may be using too much memory to
run some programs. In practice, VEDIT
can be invoked to use less memory.
-- Give the command "MN" to continue --
