Format Conventions for Commands
This manual includes sample commands that are shown exactly as you should
type them on your reader. The manual also describes the syntax for many
commands, defining each parameter in the command. This example illustrates
the format conventions used for commands:
When you use the LOADADD command, follow this syntax:
loadadd [ path \] filename [ path \ filename path \ filename... ]
where:
path is the drive and directory of the file(s) to include in the
image file. If you do not include a path, the current directory
is used.
filename is the name of the file or files to include in the image file
and load to the reader.
You can include multiple path\filename and path\*.* parameters in the
command. The path\*.* parameter loads all the files in a directory. For
example, type this command at the DOS prompt and press
loadadd c:\janus\config.sys c:\atadrv\*.* c:\data\*.*
This table defines the conventions used in the example:
