What for?:
In a script file an instruction block is conditionally
executed. Is the condition fulfilled, that is entered via
the options of the IF-command, the execution of the
script is continued directly after the IF-command and
provided an ELSE is found, the following instructions are
ignored until the next ENDIF is reached.
Otherwise, the next ELSE or ENDIF-command is searched and
the execution is continued afterwards.
How?:

under TO.
How?:
FROM
The name of the source files.
TO
The target file to be created.
BUFFERS
Here a number of 512 Byte-blocks serving as buffers
when joining the files is entered, which may
increase the speed of the process provided a larger
buffer is used than the default setting. Default is
8. The possible range is between 1 and 500.
Where?:
SYS:c
What else?:
Theoretically it is possible to enter a pattern under
FROM, describing all files to be joined. However, the
sequence of the joining cannot be determined.

Template:
S=SILENT/S, Q=QUIET/S, V=VERBOSE/S, F=FORCE/S,
I=IGNOREDIR/S, N=NOBAK/S, M=MOVE/S, SA=SETARCBIT/S,
UA=USEARCBIT/S, O=OLD/S, Z=NOCOMPRESS, COM=COMMAND/A,
ARC=ARCHIVE/A, BASE=BASEDIR, FL=FILELIST/M
What for?:
Lempel-Ziv/Huffman Archiving- and
data compression program. A well known archiver,
available for many computer platforms. Compresses
according to the Lempel-Ziv/Huffman method. The archives
created have the ending *.lha. Archives with the ending
*.lzh may also be unpacked.
How?:
SILENT
No output at all during packing and unpacking.
QUIET
No status display.
VERBOSE
Detailed status display and further infos.
FORCE
Already existing files are overwritten without a
prior control message.
IGNOREDIR
The existing directory structure is ignored, i.e.
when packing, the files are copied to the archive
without their path names, and when unpacking, they
are all written in the current directory or - if
BASEDIR was entered - in the directory entered
under BASEDIR.
NOBAK
After adding or deleting of files already existing
in the archive, the backup copies are deleted.
MOVE
The original files are deleted after the archiving.
SETARCBIT
The "archive" protection bit of the archived files is set.
USEARCBIT
Only those files are achrived, where no archive-bit
is set.
OLD
When archiving, the old (LHArc-compatible) method
is used
NOCOMPRESS
The files are only archived and not compressed.
COMMAND
One of the following commands:
A: Add files to the archive, the paths are archived
as well (Add)
E,X: Extract files from the archive (EXtract)
L: List archive content (List)
U: Update files in the archive (Update)
D: Delete files form the archive
C: Create new archive (Create)
T: test check sum (CRC) of the archived files
(Test)
ARCHIVE
The name of the archive. The ending .lha is
automatically added, provided the name does not end
with .lzh or .lha.
BASEDIR
The base directory from where the archiving or
extracting is to be started. Sub-directories are
archived as well, resp. are created new when
unpacking (provided IGNOREDIR was not set).
FILELIST
The files to be archived. Patterns may of course be
entered as well.
Where?:
SYS:c
What else?:
So far, not all functions of Amiga-Lha are integrated but
the most important ones are available. However, there are
as well some useful non-Amiga-lha-instructions and
basically anything can be realized that is necessary.
Often it is even easier than it is with the LHA of other
platforms. Especially thanks to the support of the
argument-template format of p.OS, the operation becomes a
lot easier.
Template:
DIR/M, NODATES/S, DATES/S, TO/K, SUB/K, SINCE/K,
UPTO/K, QUICK/S, BLOCK/S,NOHEAD/S, FILES/S, DIRS/S,
ALL/S, MA=MULTIASSIGN/S, LFORMAT/K, NOLINE/S
What for?:
A directory is displayed, but in contrast to DIR with all extras:
protection bits, date, size, comment, assigns of the directory, etc..
Furthermore, the output format can be influenced to a
large extent.
How?:
DIR
The directories (or files) to be displayed.
Patterns are possible as well.
DATES
The date of the change of the file is always
displayed as a numerical value (default).
NODATES
The date of the change of the file is not
displayed.
TO
Redirection of the output to his file.
SUB
This pattern is additionally applied to the files
and directories found. This allows to enter two
patterns for the searching.
SINCE
Only files from this date are displayed.
UPTO
Only files up to this date are displayed.
QUICK
Only the names of the files and directories are
displayed.
BLOCK
The size of the file is displayed in blocks and not
in bytes.
NOHEAD
The head/foot line of the list are suppressed.
FILES
Only files (no directories) are displayed.
DIRS
Only directories are displayed.
ALL
Subdirectories and their contents are recursively
displayed as well. SUB can be used very well here.
MULTIASSIGN
Is DIR a multi-assign, all directories are
displayed that are assigned to it.
LFORMAT
Here, a "Format-String" can be entered,
to freely define the output of the list-command.
This allows as well, to automatically create
scripts with the list-command, that can then be
executed with EXECUTE. Are e.g. all files to be
deleted, that were created before July 1st, 1997
this is done as follows:
> list files upto 01-Jul-97 all lformat "delete %N" to T:OldFiles.script NOHEAD
> execute T:OldFiles.script
The format-string consists of any character string
that may contain the following dummies:
%N: file name (without path)
%A: protection bits
%B: file size in blocks
%C: file comment
%D: date of the file
%E: file name extension (what is entered after the
last dot in the file name)
%L: file size in bytes (in case of directories this
is the character string DIR)
%M: file name (without extension, i.e. until the
last dot)
%P: the path (starting with the current directory)
%F: the absolute path
%T: originating time of the file
NOLINE
No line feed is displayed after each entry

Template:
DEV, FROM/K, LIST/S, ACTIVATE/S, REMOVE/S,
INACTIVATE/S, FORCE/S, GFX/S, TEMPLATE/S, ARGS/F
What for?:
Devices (harddisk partitions, graphic drivers,
Input/Output-devices, etc.) are integrated into the
system and can from now on be addressed with their device
names. With the option LIST all devices mounted can be
displayed. For each new device, an entry has to exist in
the file "DEVS:Mountlist.arg".
How?:
DEV
Device name (DOS-Device-Name).
FROM
The entry for the device is searched in the file
entered under FROM and not in DEVS:Mountlist.arg.
LIST
DThe existing ("mounted") devices are listed.
ACTIVATE
The device entered is immediately activated.
REMOVE
The device entered is removed from the system, and
the complete resources are released as well. Should
the device still be busy, this option will fail. In
this case, FORCE may be used. However, this should
only be used in emergency case, since it is
dangerous to force the removal of a device.
INACTIVATE
The device is deactivated, however, without
releasing any memory. It may later be activated
again with the option ACTIVATE
FORCE
The device is removed/deactivated even if it is
still busy. CAREFUL - see above!
GFX
The device is a graphic-driver.
TEMPLATE
An additional argument template is displayed
showing the arguments available in the file
"DEVS:MountList.arg".
ARGS
Here further arguments may be entered,
corresponding to the parameters of the file
"DEVS:MountList.arg". This allows to transfer a
complete MountList-entry via the command line as
chracter string, so that devices can be mounted
temporarily or for test purposes, that do not have
a Mountlist-entry.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Also take a look at "DEVS:MountList.arg". There, even the
selected Amiga volumes are entered by the installation
program (MountAmigaVol).
Template:
WINDOW, NUM=PROCESSNUM/K/N, PRI/K/N, STACK/K/N,
STSCP=STARTSCRIPT/K, ENDSCP=ENDSCRIPT/K, COM=COMMAND/K/F
What for?:
A new shell process is opened in a new window entered in
WINDOW.
How?:
WINDOW
Specification of the Console-Window to be opened.
PROCESSNUM
The number of the new process can be assigned. This
allows to subsequently send a Control-C-signal to the
process, without having to find out the process
number first.
PRI
The priority of the new process is determined.
STACK
The Stack-size of
the new processes can be set
STARTSCRIPT
This script is executed upon opening of the new
window. Default setting is "S:StartShell.scp".
Here, settings can be made on e.g. Command macros,
Settings of the Command path or of the format
of the prompt
ENDSCRIPT
The script entered is executed, upon closing the
Shell-window (whatsoever). Log-data may e.g. be
saved in a file or a final message may be output or
even fail signals canabe sent to programs
COMMAND
Here, a command (with arguments) may be entered,
that is executed when opening the window. The
window remains open afterwards as normal
Shell-window, in contrast to RUN
<>CON:
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Also see commands Run, Alias, Prompt and
Path, as well as almost the whole
rest of this guide...
Template:
PATH/M, ADD/S, SUB/S, RESET/S, QUIET/S
What for?:
The command-path of the shell is set, extended, reduced,
removed or simply displayed. A "Path" is a list of
directories, browsed for executable programs if a command
name is entered in the command line. When calling without
parameter, the current path is displayed.
How?:
PATH
The directories constituting the path.
ADD
Usually, with every calling of PATH where a
directory is entered as well (i.e. not only PATH is
called to display the current path), the current
path is replaced by the one entered. However, is
ADD entered, the current path is expanded by the
directories transfered in the argument PATH.
SUB
The opposite of ADD. The directories entered are
removed from the current path.
RESET
The path is cleared. Just the internal commands and
the commands in the current working command can be
used afterwards without entering the complete path.
QUIET
Like most other commands disposing of a gadget
argument of this name, this suppresses any output.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
The path defined under PATH is not at all globally valid.
It is only valid in the shell-process where the
PATH-command was executed as well as in the shells
started by this process. Therefore, the right place for
this command is the file "S:StartShell.scp". Also see
NewShell.
Template:
FILE/A, FONT/K, FS=FONTSIZE/N/K, HEX/S, L=LEFT/K/N,
T=TOP /K/N, W=WIDTH/K/N, H=HEIGHT/K/N, TS=TABSIZE/K/N,
BG=BGNAME/K, AS=AUTOSWITCH/S
What for?:
Text- and Hex-display program, however, the output is
not, done via the standard output - as it may be
assumed because of its popularity in most other operating
systems but is done in a special window. (By the way: for
pipe-freaks: The text to be displayed, cannot be read via
the standard input either).
How?:
FILE
The file to be displayed.
FONT
Name of font type to display the text.
FONTSIZE
The font type size.
HEX
The file entered is output in hexadecimal figures.
This way, even files can be displayed containing
binary data
LEFT
Distance of the output window to left screen
border.
TOP
Distance to top screen border.
WIDTH
Window width.
HEIGHT

TABSIZE
Text files may as well include tabulators (for
indents etc.). Here, the width of a tabulator mark
can be entered in digits.
BGNAME
Here a graphic file can be entered, to cover the
background of the window in tiles. This way, pMore
may be (ab)used to display graphics, even allowing
to enter titles on a graphic...
AUTOSWITCH
Automatic determination whether a file is a text or
a binary file and the corresponding display.
Where?:
Sys:C
What else?:
Not to be confused with the "More"-command of e.g.
AmigaOS. The advantages of the pretty graphical editing
of the text (fonts, background graphic) come, however,
along with the disadvantage that the text cannot be
displayed via the standard output. An example: If the
network software becomes part of p.OS, "pMore" cannot be
used by anyone logged in via a terminal. (exception: the
network transparent RTG-features are used, which will
thencertainly be available as well...).
"Type" may be used for the shell-based text output.
Template:
F=FONT/K, FS=FONTSIZE/K/N, PUBSCREEN/K
What for?:
The preference program of p.OS is started.
How?:
FONT
Optionally entered font type to be used for the

TOUCH
Loads the preference files for the setting entered
(e.g. 'sys/background' for the background setting).
WAIT
The time entered passes, before the new data is
processed.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
This command is usually executed when starting the
system, as well as in case of changes in pOSPrefs, so
that the normal user does not have to take care of it.
Template:
PROMPT
What for?:
The format of the Shell-prompt is set. The current format
is displayed, if the command is called without arguments.
How?:
PROMPT
A character string serving as prompt. The string
may contain the following dummies:
%N: Number of current shell-process
%S: Current directory
%R: The return value of the last
operation
%F: last internal pDOS-error code
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
The prompt set is valid in the current shell only or in
the respective daughter-shells.
Template:

Template:
DEVICE/A, NAME
What for?:
Relabeling of a data carrier, resp. displaying its name
if the command is called without the argument NAME.
How?:
DEVICE
Device name (DOS-Device-Name) with final colon
NAME
The new volume label without colon!
Where?:
SYS:C
What else?:
In contrast to device- and volume names: see section

Template:
FROM/A, TO=AS/A, QUIET/S
What for?:
Files or directories are renamed, which corresponds to
the moving to a different directory, provided a different
primary directory is entered under TO than under FROM.
However, a renaming between volumes is not possible. In
this case, the file has to be copied first and then, the
original file has to be deleted.
How?:
FROM
source file, resp. previous file name.
TO

detailed explanation of the signal bits is not
necessary here. However, the developer
documentation includes detailed information on such
issues.
TYPE
Determines window type (e.g. 0x1001 = Control
message).
In the p.OS-Prefs-program,
the different appearance shapes may be selected for
the different requester-types.
Also see the developer documentation for the
different requester types.
GFXFILE
Graphic, e.g. an icon displayed in the requester in
addition to the text BODY to stress the sense of
the requester.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Useful in scripts only, e.g. for control messages and
branches.
Template:
NAME, LIB=LIBRARY/K, REMOVE/S, DEV=DEVICE/K,
TESTSEGM/K, PSEG/K, FILE/K, ADD/S, REPLACE/S
What for?:
Shell-commands (programs), Libraries and Devices
can be made memory resident. Is no argument entered, a list of resident
object is displayed. Objects that are resident already as
a standard, e.g. internal shell-commands, may be
inactivated, to give the priority to programs of the same
name installed later.
How?:
NAME
The name under which the resident object may later
be called.
LIBRARY
Is a Library to
be made resident, it has to be entered here.
REMOVE
The object determined under NAME is removed from
the list of memory resident objects and the buffer
space is released. This is also valid for internal
shell-commands, that can then no lonber be
executed.
DEVICE
Is the resident object a Device, it is
entered here
FILE
Is the object a program, it is entered here. Only
such programs can be made resident, that are
reentrant and reexecutable. This
can usually be seen from the "p"-protection bit of the
file. The internal Shell-commands are always
resident.
ADD
Was an object resident under a different NAME
already, the new name will not be replaced by the
previous one (as with REPLACE, valid as a standard)
but when activating this option, the resident
object can from now on be called under the new as
well as under the old name.
REPLACE
This is a standard option. Was the same object
already included in the list of resident objects
under a different name, the old NAME is replaced by
the new one.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Plese note that the programs have to be reentrant and
reexecutable .
Template:
NUM=PROCESNUM/K, NAME=PROCESSNAME/K, PRI/K/N,
STACK/K/N, COM=COMMAND/A/F
What for?:
A new processor is created for a command, separating from
the current shell-process and parallel executed.
How?:
PROCESSNUM
The number of the new process. Serves for better
identification.
PROCESSNAME
The name of the new process. Serves as well to
facilitate e.g. the later cancellation of the
process with the Control-command, without having
to search in the process list.
PRI
The priority of the new process.
STACK
The Stack-size of
the process is determined.
COMMAND
The command to be started with optionally followed
arguments
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Please note: Since the standard in- and output of the
run-command is still made via the original Shell-window,
this cannot be closed, if a program started with Run is
still active. The only alternative is to redirect the in-
and output flows of the run-command accordingly. If e.g.
the p.OS-Workbench was closed and is to be started again
without having a shell-window opened all the time, you
may proceed as follows: Run <>NIL: wb, then,
the shell-window may be closed.
Template:
NAME, ENV=GLOBAL/S, SAVE=ENVARC/S, ADD/S, SUB/S,
STRING/F
What for?:
The value of a shell-variable is set or changed.
How?:
NAME
variable name.
GLOBAL
A variable is to be valid globally, i.e.
system-wide and not only valid in the shell where
it was set or in the daughter-shells.
ENVARC
The variable is to be stored with its value in the
directory EnvArc: so that it is available unchanged
after a new start of the system.
ADD
Does the variable already exist under the name
NAME, the STRING is added to the previous value of
the variable.
SUB
Removes the entered part from the already exisitng
variable.
STRING
The proper value of the variable. This string does
not have to be set in inverted commas - even if it
contains spaces. The inverted commas would be a
part of the string.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Also see Shell-Variables
Template:
LABEL/A
What for?:
In a shell-script a skip is made to the mark LABEL
entered.
How?:
LABEL
The mark to which is to be branched. In scripts is
often useful to skip to a different place of the
script, depending on a condition. For this purpose,
so-called labels may be used. These consist of a
command LAB, followed by a name
and are located anywhere in the script file. The
SKIP-command, then skips to the position in the
file, where the label entered is located and
continues the execution from there.
Where?:
Internal
What else?:
Only to be used in scripts. Also see LAB
/A> , IF und ELSE.
Template:

TO
The name of the partial files, to which a serial
number is automatically added in form of "-xxx".
SIZE
size of the different parts
Where?:
sys:c
What else?:
The number of the partial-files is limited to 999,
because of the file extension. However, it will hardly
ever be fully used. This command is especially useful to
split large files, e.g. archives, into parts suitable for
diskettes or to dispatch them via email, since there are
still email-servers, only passing on e-mails up to a
certain maximum size. The Join-command serves for the later
joining together of the different parts.
Template:
FROM=FILE/A, NUMBER/S, HEX/S
What for?:
The file content is output via the standard output (which
may of course be redirected as well).
How?:
FILE
The name of the file to be output
NUMBER
Line numbers are output as well
HEX
The output is done in hexadecimal system, so that
even binary files can be displayed.
