- MF (for MEMO FILE) is a tiny utility that can pass the name of
- the file last edited with MEMO to a DOS program.
-
- This can be handy for DOS spellcheckers, formatters,
- fax programs etc., that normally don't have access
- to this information.
-
- How to use:
-
- Simply prefix the command that you would use to call your DOS
- program with MF, and use \m for the name of the MEMO file.
-
- Example: To call the program SPELLCHK.EXE and pass it the name
- of the last file accessed by MEMO as the first argument, the
- commandline would be:
-
- mf spellchk \m
-
- mf will replace all '\m' with the memo file name, and then
- execute the resulting command. In this version of mf, the '\m'
- must stand on its own.
-
- To use mf from the HP100LX application manager, install mf
- itself as an application instead of the DOS app you want to
- call, and provide the name and other parameters of the DOS app
- in the Path field. (You'll have to provide the full path to
- the DOS application if it does not reside in a directory
- located in your PATH statement)
-
- If you need help with using MF, or have improvement
- suggestions, please post a message in the 'Palmtop Programmers'
- section (#15) in the Hewlett-Packard Handhelds forum on
- CompuServe (GO HPHAND)
