-
- This is an easier way to make a command file then submit, xsub, or
- supersub. You simply type in the name you give your command file and hit
- RETURN. Then type in whatever number of commands that you want to auto-
- matically boot up. I am sure that this program can be used in a number of
- ways and for a number of uses. An example is included below.
-
- ( = this means that the program prints this on your screen.
-
- A0>MAKBATCH --> TO CALL UP THIS PROGRAM, YOU TYPE THIS IN.

- (Enter the name (and drive letter) of the file to be created
- (
- ((Do not enter extension, COM is assumed)
-
- MJS --> YOU WRITE IN NAME OF COMMAND FILE WITHOUT ".COM"
-
- ***** Note added by Paul Foote - 10/10/85: Use at least two
- character file names -- single char. names make the
- program create a <BLANK>.COM file which does not run
- (at least on my Xerox 820-II system).
-
-
- (Enter the desired command lines below
- ((Enter ! alone to terminate input)
-
-
- COLDBOOT<CR> --> YOU WRITE IN THE NAME OF THE COMMAND THAT YOU WANT
- NOBEEP<CR> ON A SEPARATE LINE AS YOU SEE HERE
- SMARTKEY<CR> & THEN HIT RETURN.
- WS<CR>
- !<CR> --> THIS IS THE COMMAND CODE FOR QUITTING.
-
- ( Requested file has been written to disk
-
- When you use D.COM or NSWP to look at what you have done, you will
- find MJS.COM. Test it out. Run MJS (or whatever name you gave the file.
-
- The above command file made by MAKBATCH coldboots the computer in case
- you have a different file of SMARTKEY booted. It then boots NOBEEP so that
- WS is quieter. Then it loads SMARTKEY and finally WS (Wordstar). So four
- programs have been loaded by MJS.COM. You could even call this M.COM and
- do all this with one key stroke. That saves about 27 key strokes. It is
- fun to watch the computer do all the work.
