DoList has several internal commands that can be executed from the command line. These commands all start with the '@' symbol.
@RC ON/OFF @Trace ON/OFF @PathDoList can display MS-DOS exit return codes. This feature is controlled by typing "@RC ON/OFF". If a subprogram terminates with anything other than a return code of zero, DoList displays it. DoList will also display if the program was terminated by a Ctrl-Break or if the program remains memory resident.
The @Trace command will display how DoList interprets the command line. This will show you the whole path and file that DoList actually loads when you type a command.
The @Path command lets you edit your path environment variable using DoList's line editor.
When DoList loads it looks for a configuration file called DOLIST.CFG. This file is a text file that allows you to customize DoList. It also contains instructions and examples. It allows you to set up programmable function keys. These programmable keys allow you to make any unused function key or Alt key into any command.
Examples: AKey F9 DM ;programs the F9 key to run DM AKey SF8 DEL *.BAK ;programs the Shift-F8 key to delete the BAK files BKey AF5 DIR ;programs the Alt-F5 key to run DIRNote: The AKey command forces an Enter at the end. The BKey command forces a space at the end. The BKey command allows you to enter additional parameters.
