s There are some example scripts (named EX*.CMD) included in the Filestuff
s ARC. The scripts demonstrate most of the Filestuff commands. It doesn't
s take very long to run the examples, so we'll give you a chance to run them
s now. All you need to do is make sure all the files from the ARC are in the
s root directory of your disk. Also, since the file command examples will
s write to your disk, make sure there's a little bit of free space available.

s (There's a 30-second pause here; press any key to continue sooner. These

s
s It's probably easiest to run these from a ramdisk, but it's not necessary.
s At any rate, even if you don't run the examples now, be sure to look over
s the scripts to see how things are done.

;Note: in the SHOW command below, I've embedded the esc-p and esc-q
;commands that turn reverse video on and off to highlight the proper
;key to press. Depending on the editor you're using to look at this
;script, you may not be able to see the ESC characters. One reason I
;recommend Flash is that its editor _will_ display control characters.

s If you'd like to see the examples now, press the p space bar q within
s 30 seconds. Otherwise, press any other key (or no key at all).

;Here's the real stuff. Note the Buffer commands before getting keyboard

;Buffer in both circumstances! Anyway...

s Ok, we'll Transfer control to our first example script. Since we
s haven't turned off the file-command Echo, the entire command line for
s the Transfer will be displayed. Then the new script will be read in
s and executed. (We'll pause briefly now so you can read this message.)

s If you see this line, then the Transfer command failed. The most likely 
s cause of this is that Filestuff couldn't find the new script. Since we  
s specified "\example.cmd", Filestuff is looking in the root directory of 
s the default disk (the disk from which you ran Filestuff). Move all the  
s supplied .CMD files into the root directory and run Filestuff again!
