Special Command Features
The subsystem command processor has the following special features that provide MPE
functionality within NetBase.
• Any MPE command that is executable in break may be issued from the subsystem. To enter an
MPE command, type the command prefixed by a colon (:).
• The REDO command allows the last command entered to be modified and then executed. To
modify and execute the last typed command, simply type REDO at the D> prompt, modify the
line using standard EDITOR commands, and press return to execute the command.
• NBDIR executes a command file called DIRINIT.DATA.NETBASE when a directory is created. This
allows you to preload the directory with whatever you need, usually PROGRAM records.
Additionally, this enables you to add your own commands.
• The NBDIR subsystem also supports a help facility. Typing HELP displays a list of valid
commands.
