Library Commands
To Override an AUTOmatic Command
Press (HOLD) any time during the
DATEITIME
start-up initialization dialog (before the
second (ENTER)).
To erase an automatic command
Type:
AUTO
This tells
TRSDOS
to delete any automatic key-ins and reset the start-up procedure to
go directly to the
TRSDOS READY
mode.
Important Note
Be sure a program is fully debugged before making it an automatic command.
Programs which are executed via the
AUTO
function should normally provide a
means of exiting to the
TRSDOS READY
mode. (Unless the (BREAK) key is blocked by
the user program, pressing (BREAK) will get you back to
TRSDOS.)
Sample Use
Suppose you want the
TRSDOS
to run a certain
BASIC
program,
MENU,
each
time it is started up. That way, an operator can turn on the Computer and get
going without having to enter any
TRSDOS
commands.
Then use the command:
AUTO BASIC MENU
to prepare the System to run the
BASIC
program each time it starts up. (See
BASIC
Reference Manual for details on loading
BASIC.)
