RUNNING ONE DOS COMMAND
Pressing Alt-V allows you to enter one DOS command or filename
to run. This command is then executed and control is returned
to Telix. As can be seen this is similar to the DOS shell, but
is useful when you have only one command to enter. There are
many uses for this command. For example, if your file viewing
utility is called 'List', you could press Alt-V and then enter
'List TELIX.DOC'. This would load your file view utility and
let you look at the TELIX.DOC file. After you terminated this
program you would be back in Telix. Any DOS command is legal,
for example 'copy a:*.arc c:', or 'ren data dat1'. If for some
reason you might want Telix to pause after the command is fin-
ished, add a ';' character to the end of the command string,
for example 'type TELIX.DOC;'. This stops the last screen-full
typed from scrolling by too quickly when control returns to
Telix.
