Commands like *CAT produce confusing results in spool files,
because the file server will display a catalogue when you type
*CAT; the spool file will then include the catalogue display. To
avoid this effect, create your command file as a BASIC program,
like this:
10 *SPOOL STARTUP
20 PRINT"*CAT"
30 PRINT"*SDISC USER-DISC"
40 PRINT"*LIB MYLIB"
50 *SPOOL
60 END
To execute this spool file
type:
*EXEC STARTUP[RETURN]
NOTE: if your computer is fitted with a disc filing system
interface, you could use the DFS commands *BUILD, *TYPE,
*LIST and *DUMP to prepare files that contain sequences of
commands. Instructions on using these commands are in the BBC
Microcomputer Disc System User Guide; your network manager
should have a copy.
