-f 〈 file〉

This tells The Key to read one or more lines of arguments from a file. This is useful for copying long lists of files. For example, suppose PROGFILE.CPY contains the following lines:

               -di a:\ -do d:\
               *.c =
               *.pas =
               w*.* =
               *.doc =

Then the argument `-f PROGFILE.CPY' would cause The Key to read and interpret each of the lines in that file. In this example, the result would be to copy all the files in a:\ ending with .c, .pas, and .doc or beginning with w to d:\.
