Some of the major CP/M 3.0 transient utility commands are listed in
Table 14-2. (The actual list of transient commands may change from
time to time as the CP/M system is updated or added to.) When you
enter a command keyword that identifies a transient utility, CP/M 3.0
loads the program file from the disk and passes that file any
filenames, data or parameters you entered in the command tail.
NOTE: The built-in commands, DIR, RENAME, and TYPE have
optional transient extensions.
