TRANSIENT UTILITY COMMANDS

The CP/M 3.0 transient utilities are listed in Table 14-2. When
you enter a command keyword that identifies a transient utility,
CP/M 3.0 loads the program file from the disk and passes to that
file any filenames, data, or parameters you entered in the
command tail.
DIR, RENAME AND TYPE are built-in commands which have
optional transient extensions.
