The S: Directory The S: Directory is the home of your startup-sequence and user-startup files and shell startup files. The S: directory also contains the following scripts:

ED-Startup

This file contains ED commands used to configure the ED text editor, assigning the default function key options. Key assignments can be customized by editing this file.

SPat-DPat

These scripts allow pattern matching with commands that do not normally support pattern matching. When run with a command, SPat and DPat use the LIST command to create a temporary script files in the T: directory and then execute the scripts.

SPat adds pattern matching to single -argument commands. for example. to use ED to edit all the files in the S; directory begining with the letters s, enter:

1> SPat ED S:s#?

DPat adds pattern matching to double-argument commands. After DPat and the command name, enter the two arguments separated by a space, using the wild cards required to poduce the results needed.

PCD

Like the CD command, the PCD script changes the current directory. However, PCD also remembers the directory from wich you are changing so you can return with out entering the etire path . Each shell has and independant PCD memory.

The First time you call PCD you must give it a full path to a direcotry.

Example

1.System> PCD Work:Paint/pictures/gif-files

1.Work:Paint/pictures/gif-files>

1.Work:Paint/pictures/gif-files> PCD

1.System:>
