-
- C-Kermit for the Atari ST contains built-in shell commands to provide local
- and remote file operations.
-
- When C-Kermit is in server mode and receives a remote command the output is
- written to a temporary directory set by the tmpdir command. The resulting
- file is read and sent to the remote user as a "piped" command. After the
- command is finished, the temporary file containing the output is erased.
-
- The commands are as follows:
-
- dir [-d] file-spec directory listing (one screen at a
- time, type 'q' or 'Q' to quit)
- -d list directories only
-
- cwd path-spec change current working directory
-
- mkdir directory-name make a directory
-
- rmdir directory-name remove a directory
-
- pwd path to current working directory
-
- delete [-f] file-spec interactively delete files
- ('y' delete, 'n' next, 'q' quit)
- -f force interactive mode off
-
- rename old-filename new-filename rename a file
-
- df free space on current disk drive
-
- copy source-file destination-file copy a file
-
- move [-c] file-spec directory-name move files to a directory
- -c copy files to directory
- without erasing them
-
- type file-spec show contents of files on screen
-
- print filename print a file
-
- date [[YYYYMMDD]HHMMSS] change the date and/or time
- displays the system date and time if
- no argument is specified
-
- tmpdir [path-spec] set temporary directory for "piped"
- commands or show setting
-
- homdir [path-spec] set home directory or show setting
-
- reverse toggle reverse of text and background
-
- clear clear the screen
-
- wrap toggle word wrap
-
- help subject-area gives usage of commands or a list of
- commands if subject-area is help
-
- To enter the built-in "shell", type an exclamation mark alone on the C-Kermit
- command line. To exit the shell, type 'exit' or Control-D.
-
- The home directory where C-Kermit looks for your init file, kermit.ini, is
- \usr\ckermit. Typing 'cwd' on the C-Kermit command line will make your home
- directory the current directory.
-
- The directory where temporary files are written for "piped" commands is
- \tmp. If your C-Kermit program is not acting as a server, this directory is
- not necessary.
