- SET-SHOW FILE
-
- Establishes (or opens) another file as the current mail file. By default, your
- mail file is MAIL.MAI. If you use the COPY command, the FILE command, or the
- MOVE command to create other mail files (for example, JOKES.MAI or HISTORY.MAI),
- you can then use the SET FILE command to open the MAIL files.
-
- When you enter the SET FILE command, the WASTEBASKET folder of the current mail
- file is emptied, the file is closed, and the specified (alternate) file is
- opened.
-
- The SHOW FILE command displays the name of the mail file that is currently open.
-
- Format: SET FILE file-name
-
- SHOW FILE
-
- Parameters: file-name
-
- Indicates the name of the mail file you are opening. Your
- mail file directory and a filetype of MAI are used when
- opening the file.
-
-
- Examples:
-
- 1.
- MAIL> SHOW FILE
- Your current mail file is DISK$:[ARAS]MAIL.MAI;2
- MAIL> 2
- MAIL> COPY
- _Folder: LIMERICKS
- _File: JOKES
- File DISK$:[ARAS]JOKES does not exist.
- Do you want to creat it (Y/N)?
- %MAIL-S-CREATED, DISK$:[ARAS]JOKES.MAI;1 created
- %MAIL-I-NEWFOLDER, folder LIMERICKS created
-
- MAIL> SET FILE JOKES
- MAIL> SHOW FILE
- Your current mail file is DISK$:[ARAS]JOKES.MAI
-
- This example demonstrates how the SHOW FILE command
- displays the name of the mail file that is currently open
- (MAIL.MAI);the COPY command creates a new folder (LIMERICKS)
- and a new mail file (JOKES) and copies message 2 into this
- folder; and the SET FILE command opens the mail file named
- JOKES.MAI.
