- Arguments (cont)
-
- Once the terminal type is established, the remaining arg-
- uments are interpreted thus: if the argument begins with a
- "-", the rest of it is interpreted as though it appeared after
- the "o" in an option command. For example, an argument of
- "-w10" acts as a command "ow10". On the other hand, if the
- argument does not begin with "-", it is interpreted as a file
- name (path- name). The named file is read into the edit
- buffer, and its name becomes the remembered file name. If
- more than one file is named, the edit buffer will contain the
- contents of all the files. If an error is encountered while
- interpreting arguments (file not found, illegal option), the
- remainder will be ignored.
-
- For invoking command syntax, type "hargs".
