-
- RESOLVE will resolve a multiple-command line passed to it and place that
- command line in the Multiple-Command Line Buffer in memory. It will resolve
- references to shell variables, registers, and System File names.
- :1
-
- Usage:
-
- RESOLVE recognizes the following flags:
-
- %<text> Shell variable name.
- $R<n> Register number. (n = 0-31)
- $D Current disk letter.
- $U Current user number.
- $F<n> System File name. (n = 1-4)
- $N<n> System File name, chars 1-8 only. (n = 1-4)
- $T<n> System File name, extension only. (n = 1-4)
- $| Substitute multiple-command separator.
-
- The QUIET flag is adhered to; the program will not print its sign-on
- message or error messages if the QUIET flag is set.
-
- If there is no room for the command-line generated, the ERROR flag will be
- set, and an error message may be printed, depending upon the state of the
- QUIET flag. Uninterpretable '$' parameters will also set the error flag.

- Examples of Use:
-
- a. HELP:;ROOT:dir14 *.hlp h;ROOT:quiet s;ROOT:getvar ghelp enter <<
- desired help file by name -;ROOT:resolve hlp %ghelp;ROOT:quiet r;$d$u:
-
- - 'GH' (Get Help) alias defined in Z-NEWS #507 (11 Aug '86):
-
- Log into HELP directory and run DIR14 from ROOT: directory on help files
- with mask to show files of type HLP. Go into quiet mode to suppress
- utility headers and messages. With files showing on screen, prompt
- operator for one to use, "enter desired help file by name - ". GETVAR
- places operator's response into variable name 'ghelp' which is located
- automatically in ROOT file SH.VAR. RESOLVE sets up main command string
- consisting of HLP (HELP53.COM renamed) followed by expanded 'ghelp'
- variable (operator's chosen HLP file). Reset quiet flag for normal
- operation and log back into original directory.
