- GOPHER EXEC
-
- The CMS Gopher client retrieves documents from "gopher servers" and displays
- them on your screen. Gopher servers run on a variety of hosts on InterNet,
- and the Gopher protocol allows them to interact with clients on any platform
- regardless of the operating system, local file conventions, or character set.
-
- The format of the GOPHER command is:
- +---------------------------------------------------------------+
- | | |
- | GOPHER | [host [port]] [ (PATH itempath |
- | | | (BOOKMARK bookmark |
- | | | (BOOKLIST |
- | | |
- | | (TUBE vaddr ] |
- | | |
- +---------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Gopher is something that you "get into". That means that command line
- options and parameters only affect start-up. Once you are in Gopher, the
- session is controlled using program function keys, not with commands.
-
- Function Keys:
-
- The function keys are usually set to:
-
- PF1 HELP
- PF3 go back to the previous screen
- PF6 find a string in the current file or menu
- PF7 scroll backward
- PF8 scroll forward
- PF9 set or delete a bookmark
- PF10 list bookmarks
- PF11 view the selected file or menu
- PF12 quit and return to CMS
-
- Options:
-
- (PATH path tells Gopher to read its start-up menu
- from a particular directory path
-
- (BOOKMARK bookmark resumes viewing from the specified bookmark
-
- (BOOKLIST provides a list of all of your bookmarks
-
- the above options are mutually exclusive
-
- (TUBE vaddr indicates that terminal I/O should
- be directed to the virtual address,
- rather than to the CMS console
-
- GlobalVs:
-
- Gopher honors the following user settable GLOBALVs (CMS Global Variables):
-
- HOST
- PORT
- PATH
- NAME
- TELNET
- TN3270
- VIEWER
-
- These are all in GLOBALV group GOPHER. To set, say, the default gopher
- server host, issue the command:
-
- GLOBALV SELECT GOPHER SETP HOST host.domain
-
- where host.domain is the domain-style name for the gopher server host.
