Now you can very simply change the wildcard that EDIT will use. This is a handyutility to use so that when you type EDIT and you go to open a file it will usethe wildcard *.BAT or *.* (or whatever up to 5 characters) to select which filesto include in the file display. It is not necessary to put any information onthe command line. However, you may find it usefull to do so. If only one itemis specified on the command line it will be assumed that it is to be used forthe wildcard. (Meaning you can not specify a path only, from the command line.)
You may also make a datafile containing the path that you will be using mostoften. To make a datafile just put a line containing the path to the desiredQBASIC.EXE program into a file with the same name as this program but, use anextension of ".DAT". If no path is specified when you run this utility thisprogram will use a default path built into this program which is C:\DOS. Anothergreat idea would be to make batch files that will automatically change thewildcard to the desired one and then run EDIT. For example, for editing BATfilesit might be nice to make a batch file like Ex. 2.
