You can load executable files (the files that have extension BAT, COM,
EXE) only from Panel A. This operation can be done like follows:
1) Select the desired file using the keys [up arrow] or [down arrow] and
press [Enter].
2) Move the mouse cursor to the desired file and press the left button
twice.
CP provides the user with the convenient function to load files by
their extensions. When loading a non-executable file CP can execute a
command depending on the extension of the file name. The file CP.EXT
specifies the command that should be executed. The file CP.EXT must be
placed in the same directory that contains the CP program. Below is an
example of the CP.EXT file:
COM: !
EXE: !
BAT: !
PRN: print !.!
TXT: me !.!
ARC: pkunpak !.! *.*
BSA: bsa -x !.!
ZIP: pkunzip !.! *.*
In the aforementioned example the following operations will be
performed by default:
COM, EXE, BAT - will start the selected file execution,
PRN, - the selected file will be printed out,
TXT, - an external editor will be loaded to edit the file;
in our example it is MULTI-EDIT (TM),
ARC, BSA, ZIP - the file will be unpacked.
See "Extension Files" for more detailed information on writing
extension files.
You may load the file by its extension from Panel A by performing the
following operations:
1) Select the desired file using the keys [up arrow] or [down arrow] and
press [Enter]. (The command line should be empty.).
2) Move the mouse cursor to the desired file and press the left button
twice.
