directory (if enabled in the Communications screen — available from the Options
menu).

It is possible to invoke an application from the File Browser window. Files with an .exe
extension run automatically; for other files, TCM checks the Windows file manager
association list to determine which application to run. An example: running Notepad and
checking the contents of a file before including it in a script.
To invoke an application from within TCM, double-click on the file name in the File Browser
window.
To copy (include) existing script files to the script being built:
1. Click on the Script Browser Window to make it the active window.
2. Click on the source directory in the Directory Tree Pane.
TCM displays the directory contents in the Contents Pane.
3. Click on the script in the Script Browser Window.
4. Drag and drop the selected script from Script Browser to the target directory in the
Script Window.
OR click on the target directory and select File | Script Browser Copy from the menu
bar.

toolbar.

directory. Choose the Yes button to complete the copy.

Edit the System Files

For the applications to work on the PDT 3400, you must modify the DOS system files. TCM
includes an automated process, System File Edits, for including the information needed to run
the applications on the PDT 3400 in the system files.
How System File Edit Works
You create the system files (AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS) and/or add edits to existing
system files, via the System File Edit screen, while creating the script.
TCM associates the edits to the system files with that script. When TCM builds the hex
image, it appends your edits to the system files in the order the edits were made.
