^B HELP ^B H HELP [<keyword>] Provides command language help information for the following topics. You may abbreviate to H. (Abbreviations are in parentheses.) & $DATE $DIR $SERIAL $TIME ACCEPT ALERT BACKGROUND BACKUP BREAK CHAIN(C) CHDIR(CD) CLOSE COLUMN CONTINUE COPY DCD DIR DISCONNECT DISPLAY Drive ELSE ENDIF ENV EOF ERASE(DEL) ERROR ERROR-CODE EXIST EXIT FIND FOR FOREGROUND FOUND GOSUB GOTO HARDEXIT HELP(H) HOLD IF INVOKE(X) IRECEIVE ISEND KBYE KFINISH KGET KRECEIVE(KR) KSEND(KS) Label LENGTH LET LOAD LOG LOWER MID MSAVE(PS) ONEXIT OPEN PACK PRINT(P) QUIET(Q) READ READHOST RECEIVE(R) RENAME(REN) RESETCOMM RESTORE RETURN ROW SAVE SCOLUMN SEND(S) SET SET1 SET2 SET3 SHELL SROW STOP String Switches Syntax Text TRANSMIT TSR TYPE(T) UPPER VALUE Variable Vaxlink VERIFY(V) WAIT WRITE XRECEIVE(XR) XSEND(XS) The following symbols indicate syntax and are not actually typed: < > | { } [ ] (Type HELP SYNTAX for symbol meanings.) ^E ^B & & Concatenate strings. Used to concatenate a pair of strings. Example: DISPLAY V2 & "!" ^E ^B $DATE $DATE Pre-defined variable which contains the current date when used in a command. May be used with string functions as in: DISPLAY MID($DATE,3,4) ^E ^B $DIR $DIR Pre-defined variable which contains the current directory when used in a command. May be used with string functions as in: DISPLAY MID($DIR,1,5) ^E ^B $SERIAL $SERIAL Pre-defined variable which contains the serial number of the product when used in a command. May be used with string functions as in: DISPLAY MID($SERIAL,9,14) ^E ^B $TIME $TIME Pre-defined variable which contains the current time when used in a command. May be used with string functions as in: DISPLAY MID($TIME,1,2) ^E ^B ACCEPT ACCEPT [<time>] V{0-n} [UNTIL {<text> | FULL}] [LIMIT <number>] [TERMINATOR V{0-n}] [NOECHO] Accepts a value from the keyboard into a command variable. UNTIL "^M" is the default, and terminates the string upon receipt of any one of the characters specified. UNTIL FULL causes termination of the string when the limit is reached. TERMINATOR, as in READHOST, stores the character that terminats the string. A timeout similar to READHOST's allows the use of IF FOUND in conjunction with ACCEPT. NOECHO prevents input from appearing on the screen as it is typed. ^E ^B ALERT ALERT <string> Specifies a message to display in the foreground while Reflection runs in the background. The message blinks for a limited amount of time, unless superseded by another message. ^E ^B BACKGROUND BACKGROUND Forces Reflection into background as if the HOT-KEY had been struck. This command can occur after WAIT or HOLD to set specific conditions to invoke background. The FGD logical can be used to test Reflection's current state. ^E ^B BACKUP BACKUP [<d:>][<path>]<filename> [<hostfile>] [/S] [/C] [/D:<date>] [/T:<time>] [/L:<filespec>] Backs up PC files to a host file. NOTE: This option is only available with PLUS versions of Reflection. PARAMETER DESCRIPTION [<d:>] Drive location of files to be backed up. [<path>] Directory or subdirectory path to be backed up. <filename> Filename to be backed up. Wildcards are acceptable. [<hostfile>] Filename on the host computer. Default name is BACKUP. [/S] Backs up all subdirectories of specified path. [/C] Backs up all specified files ignoring modify bit. [/D:<date>] Backs up files created or modified on or after mm-dd-yy. [/T:<time>] Backs up file created or modified at or after hh:mm:ss. [/L:<filespec>] Backup report filename. Default name is BACKUP.LOG. ^E ^B BREAK BREAK Transmits a break to the host computer. ^E ^B CHAIN ^B C CHAIN <filespec> Executes a new command file. Does not return to caller. You may also use C. ^E ^B CHDIR ^B CD CHDIR [<path>] Changes directories. You may also use CD. ^E ^B CLOSE CLOSE {PRINTER | DISK | REMOTE | <file number>} Closes printer, output disk file, or remote device. Alternatively, closes a file by its file number. ^E ^B COLUMN COLUMN The COLUMN function returns the number of the current column in display memory. ^E ^B CONTINUE CONTINUE [ON | OFF] Continues execution even if the next statement fails. If the the optional ON is included, failure never stops execution. ^E ^B COPY COPY <filespec1> [<filespec2>] Copies one file to another. (Similar to the DOS command but excludes the append options and the switches.) ^E ^B DCD DCD A logical used to check for a data carrier signal. ^E ^B DIR DIR [<filespec>] Lists the file directory. Wildcards are allowed, but switches are not. ^E ^B DISCONNECT DISCONNECT Forces a disconnect from the PC side. DISCONNECT functions differently depending on the type of host connection. If you are connected via a serial port, Reflection lowers the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal for 200 milliseconds. This function disconnects a properly configured modem. If you are connected via LAN, the appropriate LAN disconnect signal is transmitted. You may also use the keystroke Ctrl-F4. ^E ^B DISPLAY DISPLAY {<string> | <arithmetic expression>} Displays data on the screen. This data is interpreted as having come from datacomm. Use ^M and ^J for carriage returns and linefeeds, respectively. Note that ^A = Ctrl-A, etc. The string is limited to 80 characters. ^E ^B DRIVE <drive letter>: Changes the current drive. (A standard DOS command.) ^E ^B ELSE ELSE Specifies the alternate case (if any) associated with an IF. ^E ^B ENDIF ENDIF Terminates the conditional execution associated with an IF. ^E ^B ENV ENV("<environment name>") This function provides a means of gaining local system information, which varies according to the computer you are using. The function ENV provides access to any active DOS SET environment commands on the PC. ^E ^B EOF EOF(<file number>) A logical function. A value of TRUE means that the indicated file is at its end. NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B ERASE ^B DEL ERASE <filespec> Erases specified files. You may also use DEL. (Similar to the DOS command.) ^E ^B ERROR ERROR A logical used to check the status of the previous command. A value of TRUE means that the previous command failed. ^E ^B ERROR-CODE ERROR-CODE This function indicates the specific number of the error which occured on the last line. Blank and Comment lines reset the error to 0. The value 0 indicates that the previous command has completed normally. ^E ^B EXIST EXIST(<string>) A logical used to check the existence of a file. A value of TRUE means that the indicated file exists. NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B EXIT EXIT [<arithmetic expression>] Exits Reflection and returns to DOS. You can optionally set the DOS error level. If BACKGROUND is being used, this command is equivalent to the BACKGROUND and the STOP commands both being executed. See also HARDEXIT. ^E ^B FGD FGD A logical used to check whether or not Reflection is currently in the ForeGrounD (FGD True) or background. ^E ^B FIND FIND(<string1>,<string2>) A string function which finds the position of string1 within string2. A numeric value is returned. Zero means the string was not found. ^E ^B FOR FOR V{0-n} IN <filespec> <executable command> Allows a command to be repeated while a specified variable changes value through a set of filenames. Example: FOR V1 IN *.* TYPE $$1 See VARIABLE. ^E ^B FOREGROUND FOREGROUND Forces Reflection to the foreground as if the HOT-KEY had been struck. This command can occur after WAIT or HOLD to set specific conditions to return Reflection to the background. The FGD logical can be used to test the current state of Reflection. ^E ^B FOUND FOUND A logical set by the execution of the HOLD, WAIT, and READHOST commands. A value of TRUE indicates that the specified text was found. ^E ^B GOSUB GOSUB <labelname> [<parameters>] The GOSUB command allows you to reference a label within a command file and return to the line following GOSUB in the same file when RETURN or the end of the file is reached. ^E ^B GOTO GOTO <labelname> Transfers control to the statement following the specified label. ^E ^B HARDEXIT HARDEXIT [<arithmetic expression>] Exits Reflection and returns to DOS. You can optionally set the DOS error level. This command unloads Reflection from memory. ^E ^B HELP HELP [<keyword>] Provides command language help. HELP alone lists topics. You may abbreviate the command to H. ^E ^B HOLD HOLD {[[UNTIL] <time>] [FOR <string>]} The HOLD command allows a command file to suspend operations until a specified time or information condition has been met. This allows the user to have access to the keyboard. ^E ^B IF IF <condition> Tests a logical condition. If false, execution is suspended until an ELSE or ENDIF is encountered. Example: IF V1=> V2 AND NOT ERROR ^E ^B INVOKE ^B X [INVOKE] <filespec> [<parameters>] Invokes (executes) a command file (control returns to the caller). You may also use X. Use of the command filename alone allows passing parameters. ^E ^B IRECEIVE IRECEIVE <filespec> [;F<filespec>] [;C | ;T] FROM <hostfile> [;S<password>] [;E<number>] [ASCII | BINARY] [DELETE | APPEND] <filespec> Name that the file transferred from the mainframe will have on the PC. [;F<filespec>] Specifies the name of a configuration file built by RIXCONF. (Default is to look for RIX.CFG). [;C | ;T] ;C specifies VM/CMS mode. ;T specifies MVS/TSO mode. FROM <hostfile> Name of the file on the host. [;S<password>] Valid only for transfers to and from a TSO operating system. [;E<number>] Specifies the echo group size. [ASCII | BINARY] If ASCII is used, records from the host will be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII. If BINARY, the data downloaded from the host is not translated. [DELETE | APPEND] If DELETE is used, the PC file is deleted before the file transfer. If APPEND, the mainframe file being received will be appended to the file on the PC. ^E ^B ISEND ISEND <filespec> [;F<filespec>] [;C | ;T] TO <hostfile> [;V] [;S<password>] [;E<number>] [ASCII [NOCRLF] | BINARY [NOCRLF]] [DELETE | APPEND] [REC = <number>] <filespec> Name of the file on the PC that will be sent to the IBM. [;F<filespec>] Specifies the name of configuration file built by RIXCONF. [;C|;T] ;C specifies VM/CMS mode. ;T specifies MVS/TSO mode. TO <hostfile> Name that the file will have on the host. [;V] Selects variable-length records at the host. [;S<password>] Valid only for transfers to and from a TSO OP system. [;E<number>] Specifies the echo group size. [ASCII[NOCRLF]| If ASCII, converts ASCII to EBDIC. If BINARY, no BINARY[NOCRFL]] conversion takes place. Without NOCRLF, each line in the PC file that ends with a carriage return/linefeed becomes one logical record on the mainframe. With NOCRLF, the PC file is segmented into logical records on the host. [DELETE|APPEND] If DELETE is used, the mainframe file is deleted before the file transfer. If APPEND, the PC file being sent will be appended to the file on the mainframe. [REC = <number>] Specifies the record length to be used on the host. ^E ^B KBYE KBYE Takes KERMIT out of server mode and logs you off of the host. May be used from the command line or within a command file. ^E ^B KFINISH KFINISH Removes KERMIT from server mode but retains the host connection. May be used from the command line or within a command file. ^E ^B KGET KGET <string> [FROM <string>] [APPEND|DELETE] [ASCII|BINARY] Receives a file from a remote KERMIT running in server mode. The filename may be a string expression, but <string> must result in a filespec. Without the FROM clause, DELETE is assumed. ^E ^B KRECEIVE ^B KR KRECEIVE [<string> [FROM <string>] [APPEND|DELETE] [ASCII|BINARY]] Receives a file from the host using KERMIT protocol. The filename may be a string expression. You may also use KR. If all parameters are omitted, then the filename used will be that which has been specified by the sender. Omitting parameters allows the sender to use wildcards and send multiple files; DELETE is assumed in this case. ^E ^B KSEND ^B KS KSEND <string> [TO <string>] [ASCII|BINARY] Sends a file to the host using KERMIT protocol. The filename may be a string expression. You may also use KS. If the optional TO parameter is omitted, then you may use wildcards in the required parameter to send multiple files in a single command. ^E ^B LABEL :<labelname> Labels a position in a command file. Entered as a colon followed by a labelname. ^E ^B LAT_CONNECT CONNECT CONNECT {<service>} [<description>] <service> The name of a valid LAT service. To determine valid services, use SHOW SERVICES. <description> A string containing no spaces or tabs that is displayed in SHOW SESSIONS output. This can be used to differentiate between multiple sessions to the same service (18 chars maximum). CONNECT creates a new session to the service specified. You can create a maximum of 5 sessions to the same service. ^E ^B LAT_DISCONNECT DISCONNECT DISCONNECT {<session number> | ALL} <session number> The session number of an existing session, see SHOW SESSIONS. DISCONNECT terminates the LAT session corresponding to <session number>. If 'ALL' is specified, all LAT sessions not in use by another CI session are terminated. ^E ^B LAT_FORWARDS FORWARDS FORWARDS resumes the session with the next highest session number, as shown in the session list. If your current session has the highest session number or you have no current session, FORWARDS resumes the first session in the session list. If the session resumed is in the 'stopped' state (see SHOW SESSIONS), the reason is displayed, and Reflection returns to CI (Command Interpreter) mode. ^E ^B LAT_HELP HELP The LAT command interpreter provides all of the functionality required to establish and manage multiple LAT terminal sessions to any LAT services available to the user. To return to the LAT CI after a connection to a LAT service has been made, press Ctrl-F8 or disconnect from the current service. To move between sessions without returning to the LAT CI, press Alt-N. Additional help available: CONNECT DISCONNECT FORWARDS INSTALL RESUME SHOW ^E ^B LAT_INSTALL To install the LAT CI, enter the following command at the DOS prompt: LATCI By default, the LAT CI supports 4 LAT sessions (with each session using 4 receive slots) and 2 CI sessions (i.e., you can have 2 copies of Reflection both accessing the CI). These parameters may be changed with the following switches: /C:n Sets maximum number of CI sessions, 1 <= n <= 4. /L:n Sets maximum number of LAT sessions, 1 <= n <= 8. /S:n Sets receive slots per LAT session, 2 <= n <= 9. The LAT driver LAT.EXE must be installed prior to installing the LAT CI. If you do not install the LAT CI prior to running Reflection, you will NOT receive an error - instead Reflection will load the LAT CI automatically. When the LAT CI is loaded in this manner, it function with the following restrictions: - The LAT CI will be loaded with the following switches LATCI /C:1 /L:2 /S:4 These parameters cannot be changed. - When Reflection is terminated, all LAT sessions are also terminated. ^E ^B LAT_RESUME RESUME RESUME [<session number>] <session number> is the number of an existing LAT session to resume. RESUME resumes the current session if no <session number> is specified. If the session resumed is in a 'stopped' state (see SHOW SESSIONS), the reason is displayed, and Reflection returns to CI mode. ^E ^B LAT_SHOW SHOW Additional help available: SERVICES SESSIONS ^E ^B LAT_SHOW_SER SHOW SERVICES SHOW SERVICES lists the name of the services in the LAT service directory. Services are placed in the directory in two ways: 1). If you are using DECnet/DOS then, all LAT services listed in the PC DECNET database are entered in the table (no attempt is made to validate the entries). 2). After LATCI.EXE has been installed, any LAT configuration messages announcing new services are entered. The LAT directory service table has a default table size of 10. When the table is full, all new service announcements are ignored. The service table size can be changed by using the /D:nn switch when installing LAT.EXE. ^E ^B LAT_SHOW_SES SHOW SESSIONS SHOW SESSIONS displays the following information about each active session: - Session number - Service name - Description entered in CONNECT command - Session status: 'connected' - Connection to host is active. 'stopped' - Connection to host has been terminated, resuming a stopped session displays the reason the session stopped. 'current' - This session is your current session. 'in use' - This LAT session is the current session of another CI user. ^E ^B CTM_CONNECT CONNECT CONNECT {<node>} [<description>] <node> The name a valid DECnet node. To determine valid nodes use SHOW NODES. <description> A string containing no spaces or tabs that is displayed in SHOW SESSIONS output. This can be used to differentiate between multiple sessions to the same node (18 chars maximum). CONNECT creates a new session to the node specified. You can create a maximum of 5 sessions to the same node. ^E ^B CTM_DISCONNECT DISCONNECT DISCONNECT {<session number> | ALL} <session number> is the session number of an existing session, see SHOW SESSIONS. DISCONNECT terminates the CTERM session corresponding to <session number>. If 'ALL' is specified, all CTERM sessions not in use by another CI session are terminated. ^E ^B CTM_FORWARDS FORWARDS FORWARDS resumes the session with the next highest session number as shown in the session list. If your current session has the highest session number or you have no current session, FORWARDS resumes the first session in the session list. If the session resumed is in the 'stopped' state (see SHOW SESSIONS), the reason is displayed, and Reflection returns to CI (Command Interpreter) mode. ^E ^B CTM_HELP HELP The CTERM command interpreter provides all of the functionality required to establish and manage multiple CTERM terminal sessions to any DECnet host nodes available to the user. To return to the CTERM CI after a connection to a CTERM node has been made, press Ctrl-F8 or disconnect from the current node. To move between sessions without returning to the CTERM CI, press Alt-N. Additional help available: CONNECT DISCONNECT FORWARDS INSTALL RESUME SHOW ^E ^B CTM_INSTALL INSTALL To install the CTERM CI, enter the following command at the DOS prompt: CTERMCI By default, the CTERM CI supports 4 CTERM sessions and 2 CI sessions (i.e., you can have 2 copies of Reflection both accessing the CI). These parameters may be changed with the following switches: /C:n Sets maximum number of CI sessions, 1 <= n <= 4. /L:n Sets maximum number of CTERM sessions, 1 <= n <= 8. The CTERM driver CTERM.EXE must be installed prior to installing the CTERM CI. If you do not install the CTERM CI prior to running Reflection, you will receive an error message. ^E ^B CTM_RESUME RESUME RESUME [<session number>] <session number> is the number of an existing CTERM session to resume. RESUME resumes the current session if no <session number> is specified. If the session resumed is in the 'stopped' state (see SHOW SESSIONS), the reason is displayed, and Reflection returns to CI mode. ^E ^B CTM_SHOW SHOW Additional help available: NODES SESSIONS ^E ^B CTM_SHOW_NODE SHOW NODES SHOW NODES lists the name of the nodes in your PC DECnet database. Node names are added to the database using the DECnet/DOS NCP.EXE utility. ^E ^B CTM_SHOW_SES SHOW SESSIONS SHOW SESSIONS displays the following information about each active session: - Session number - Node name - Description entered in CONNECT command - Session status: 'connected' - Connection to host is active. 'stopped' - Connection to host has been terminated, resuming a stopped session will display the reason the session stopped. 'current' - This session is your current session. 'in use' - This CTERM session is the current session of another CI user. ^E ^B LENGTH LENGTH(<string>) String function which returns the number of characters in a string. NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B LET LET V{0-n} = {<string> | <arithmetic expression>| <logical> } Assigns a value to a variable.

NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B MSAVE ^B PS MSAVE {PRINTER | REMOTE | <filespec> [APPEND | DELETE]} Saves the contents of display memory to the specified file or device. The current PRINTER | REMOTE settings are ignored and are unaffected. You may also use PS. ^E ^B ONEXIT ^B ON ^B O ON EXIT <command> NOTE: The command ON EXIT is two words. It shows as one word in the HELP screen for inquiring purposes only. When Reflection is exited, the command following ON EXIT is immediately executed. If Reflection has been placed into background, only a HARDEXIT or Alt-X will invoke the ON EXIT command. ^E ^B OPEN OPEN {PRINTER | REMOTE | <filespec> [APPEND | DELETE]} OPEN <filespec> {APPEND | DELETE | OUTPUT | INPUT} AS <file number> The first form opens an output file which can then be used as a "to" device. The second form opens a file for input or output via a file number. ^E ^B PACK PACK(<string>) String function which produces a string with all leading, trailing, and redundant spaces removed. NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B PRINT ^B P PRINT {<string> | <filespec>} Prints a string or file. You may also use P. ^E ^B QUIET ^B Q QUIET {COMMAND | DISPLAY | STATUS} {ON | OFF} Sets command, display, or status to a quiet state (ON), or returns to normal quiet OFF state. You may also use Q. STATUS refers to the file transfer menu. ^E ^B READ READ <file number> V{0-n} Reads a line from an opened file into a variable. Data up to a linefeed or a maximum of 80 characters is read into the variable. There is no data editing. See VARIABLE. ^E ^B READHOST READHOST [<time>] V{0-n} [UNTIL <text>] [LIMIT <number>] [TERMINATOR V{0-n}] Stores all data received from the communications connection into the specified variable (maximum of 80 characters). Capture terminates when a carriage return is received, unless the optional string of terminating characters is specified or the LIMIT is reached. TERMINATOR stores the terminating character, if any. You can include a timeout. See VARIABLE. ^E ^B RECEIVE ^B R RECEIVE <string> [FROM <string>[*]] [ASCII | BINARY | IMAGE] [APPEND | DELETE] Receives a file from the host using error-checking protocol. If the ASCII | BINARY | IMAGE parameter is omitted, then the last associated value is used. The filenames may be string expressions. You may also use R. [*] SWITCHES [/D] Allows transfer of DECdx format files (IMAGE). [/I] Identical to IMAGE as transfer method (BINARY). [/W] Allows sending and receiving WordPerfect document files (BINARY). Files being sent to the host with these switches must first be received with these parameters. ^E ^B RENAME ^B REN RENAME [<d:>][<path1>]<filespec1> [<path2>]<filespec2> Renames a file, optionally, changing the path name. (An enhanced version of the standard DOS command.) You may also use REN. ^E ^B RESETCOMM RESETCOMM Depending on your datacomm-port choice and your environment, RESETCOMM resets a Hayes Smartmodem 1200B (an internal modem) to its power-on state, suspends the current LAN session, or negotiates for an MNP connection. You may also use the keystroke Ctrl-F5. ^E ^B RESTORE RESTORE [<hostfile>] [<d:>][<path>]<filename> [/S] [/K] [/H] [/L:<filespec>] Restores PC files contained in a host backup file. NOTE: This option is only available with PLUS versions of Reflection. PARAMETER DESCRIPTION [<hostfile>] Filename on the host computer. Default name is BACKUP.

If the optional DOS command is included, then the interpreter is terminated following execution. You MUST reserve enough memory to run DOS or another program. ^E ^B SROW SROW The SROW function returns the number of the current row in Reflection's screen. ^E ^B STOP STOP Terminates execution of a command file and returns to terminal mode. ^E ^B SWITCHES You can add a switch when loading Reflection which sets a particular parameter. This must be added before indicating a configuration filename and/or a command file. To find out which switches are available, type the following at the DOS prompt: R2 ? ^E ^B SYNTAX Syntax The following symbols indicate syntax and are not actually typed: < > encloses description of information to be typed | separates parameter choices { } encloses set of required choices [ ] encloses set of optional choices <time> hh:mm:ss:cc hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds, cc= hundreths of seconds. A 24 hour clock is used. ^E ^B TEXT ^B STRING In syntax descriptions, the primitives <text> and <string> refer to either a quoted string, a command variable, or combinations of same together with string functions. Example: "Hello" & UPPER(V1) & MID(V2,1,3) NOTE: The parentheses are required in this command. ^E ^B TRANSMIT TRANSMIT {<string> | <filespec> [PROMPT [<string>] | PAUSE [<tenths>]]} Transmits data to the host computer. Pacing can be used, but there is no error-checking. ^E ^B TSR TSR The TSR function tests whether Reflection is installed as a terminate and stay resident program (pop-up). The TSR function is true if Reflection has been installed in memory. ^E ^B TYPE ^B T TYPE <filespec> Displays a file on the terminal.
