- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- This command as function to search an executable file
- inside a whole disk, and to run it. So, it performs three
- MS-DOS commands with a single one:
- - change to drive,
- - change to directory,
- - run the program.
- And first of all, it searches for the proper directory
- where the program is stored.
-
- Programs with EXE, COM extension, or batch files with
- BAT extension can be launched.
- Extension is not required if only one executable file
- has this name.
-
- The RUN command also is a WHERE IS command, as it allows
- to search without to run it, for file or set of files,
- and to display their paths.
-
- Syntax for launching a program is:
-
- RUN [DRIVE:][DIRECTORY][FILENAME]
-
- Examples: RUN EDIT
- RUN A:SCAN
- RUN \PAK\PKUNZIP
-
- Syntax for performing the "where is" function is:
-
- RUN /[DRIVE:][DIRECTORY][PATTERN]
-
- Examples: RUN /EDIT
- RUN /\DOS\*.COM
