- |JGPrepare
-
- If you double click on JGPrepare, the directory in which it is becomes the
- default directory. Therefore, any files from that directory needed in the
- commandline can be specified by the name shown without a long preceeding
- pathname. I keep JGPrepare in most of my directories. dd in JGEd is now a better
- way to effect this.

- |JGQuery
-
- From the desktop, JGQuery <string> types "<string>?(Y or Mouse-select) :" If you
- answer Y/y/mouse-select it sets the system variable "query$var" to 0, otherwise
- to 1. The intention is that query$var can then be used to route your way through
- an Script.

- |JGFtop
-
- I have found that the arc's printer buffer gets cleared on return to the
- desktop. Therefore JGFtop <file> copies file to the printer and waits until the
- printer buffer is empty before returning. I keep it in my library.

- |JGArcsel
-
- JGArcsel prompts "to archive :". If you reply 'foo' it sets arc$hive to foo,
- which can then be used to choose what archive to use. Again, this is useful in
- scripts. I keep it in my library.

- |JGBusel
-
- JGBusel prompts for where to backup to, suggesting the disk in drive 0. You can
- alter its suggestion using delete and the keyboard. It puts your selection in
- back$up. The automatic backup facility of JGEd now provides a more convenient
- facility.

- .col
- |JGExist
-
- JGExisist takes as argument a file specification. If a file satisfying that
- specification exists, the system variable <xist$var> is set to 1; if it does not
- exist, the system variable is set to 0. This is now the only utility that is
- needed by the Jolly Good Programs. (To run from the Commandline.)
