-
- GENERAL, NO-FRILLS DESCRIPTION
-
- Select is a program.
-
-
- SLIGHTLY MORE SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION
-
- Select is a program that you WILL make a part of your startup-
- sequence. It allows you to choose from 1 to 15 different startup
- sequences with the simple, no-brain click of a mouse button. Please
- note that you MUST have, in the current C directory, the command
- Execute, spelled EXACTLY as shown here. If you don't, things will get
- very ugly.
-
- Select refuses to load and run some commands properly. I think this is
- because of those ->AWFUL<- BPTRs. Maybe you can fix it. Otherwise,
- Select seems to answer the prayers of anyone with more than one (1)
- startup sequence.
-
-
- GENERAL, NO-FRILLS OPERATION
-
- Select {file_1} [ {file_2} ... {file_15} ]
-
-
- SOMEWHAT USEFUL OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- For example:
-
- Select WorkBench RamDisk Modula-2 NotePad
-
- Where Workbench, RamDisk, Modula-2, and NotePad are the names of batch
- files. (i.e. Those executed with CLI's Execute command, like
- s/startup-sequence).
-
-
- HORRIBLY COMPLEX AND GENERALLY COMPLICATED OPERATION
-
- You may - how you computer people say? - "recursively" use Select in a
- file that is called by Select. It is recommended that you put the
- Select command in your startup-sequence, with all subordinate startup
- sequences in the S directory. Use filenames of less than 25 characters
- or it WON'T WORK, and will hate you for the rest of the current clock
- cycle.
-
- Note: Any EXECUTEable file that is placed in the S directory will be
- immediately accessible just by typing Execute {filename}.
-
-
- FINALLY!
-
- Dneishe is a perversion of Nice, but must be meticulously pronounced
- with the teeth clenched and a manical grin. Be sure to include the
- drawn-out ssshhhhzzz at the end. Practice it, perfect it.
