File Names

From a Cold Boot it looks for JmpStart.cld. The Launch program can also be run manually. Unless it is given a file as part of
the command line it tries to run Launch.txt. The script file may be in ASCII or Unicode.
When trying to find a script file, Launch looks in the following locations (in sequence):
root directory of the Flash (\System\Launch.xxx)
root directory of the SD card (\SD Card\Launch.xxx).
In addition, a script file can be written (with a .cld extension), and can be double-clicked to run from the File Explorer.

Command line structure

Each command takes up one line. Every command uses the format:
COMMAND,PARAMETER1,PARAMETER2,...etc.
Parameters are separated by a single comma. If a parameter requires a comma within it, the whole parameter must be
enclosed in quote marks ("). Extra spaces are ignored between the comma and the next parameter.
For Example
To delete a file called Ive, got, commas, in, my, name.txt, use the command
delete,"Ive, got, commas, in, my, name.txt".
Enclosing quotes are used to allow commas inside a parameter, but are removed prior to executing the command. Thus,
delete,deleteme.txt is the same as delete,"deleteme.txt". If a parameter requires a quote mark within it, the whole parameter
must first be enclosed within quote marks, and the required quote mark is represented by two quote marks (""). For example, to
place the message This is how you display "quote marks" on the screen, use the command
message,This is a heading,"This is how you display ""quote marks""".
The case of a command is ignored, so delete is the same as DELETE and DeLeTe.

Comments

Any line that starts with a semicolon (;), a slash ('/') or an asterisk (*) is treated as a comment, and ignored by Launch.
Launch also ignores any extra parameters (more than the required number) in a command. It is not recommended that
comments be placed at the end of lines as any future changes could render your script files incompatible.
Blank lines are also ignored.
