DATABASE directory, but she does not need it today. The commands in
Mary's login script are shown here:
:LOOP
IF "%2"="WP" THEN
SET WP="\U-CML\B-10\D"
MAP S16:=SYS:APPL\WP\SETUP
END
IF "%2"="ACCNTS" THEN MAP G:=SYS:ACCNTS
IF "%2"="DATABASE" THEN MAP S16:=SYS:APPL\DATABASE
SHIFT
IF "%2"<>"" THEN GOTO LOOP
(In the last line,
IF "%2" < >
is followed by closed quotation marks, which means "If %2 isn't blank".)
With these commands in her login script, and assuming a command line login,
Mary can log in to the primary file server (named FS1) using her username,
MARY, as follows:
LOGIN FS1\MARY WP ACCNTS
