This section briefly explains the commands to be found in the Commands sub-menu of the Network menu. All of them are common file and account control functions found on most service computers.
LIST FILES
Show a list of the file(s) in the directory you name.
DELETE FILE
Throw the file(s) you name into the trash on the other computer. Unlike trashing files on the Macintosh, deleting them on other computers probably will not provide any way to get them back.
COPY FILE
Make a new copy of a file with a different name and location from the original. The original remains unchanged.
MOVE FILE
Change the location or name of a file on the other computer. Similar to copying the file and then deleting the original.
GO TO
Change the "current directory" (which is kind of like the frontmost folder window in the Macintosh Finder) on the other computer.
FILE INFO
Just like List Files, but gives much more information about the file(s).
TYPE FILE
Show the named text file on the terminal window.
PASSWORD
Change your password on the other computer. Be careful - forgetting a password can create serious problems. Also note that if your password is remembered in the account description, then someone else will be able to maliciously change your password if they can get to your Macintosh, or get a copy of your TOPS Terminal Memory file.
GOODBYE
Farewell. Catch you later. Terminating the connection. Dosvidanya. Take it easy. Logging out.
All these commands are implemented as scripts, which are found through a service description, which are found through an operating system description. None of them will work on Manual Phone connections, and they work on Manual TCP/IP connections only if the connection is to a known computer, i.e., was picked from the list of computers rather than having its name or address typed in.
