Issuing MPE/iX Commands From Within

Telnet/iX Client

You can enter MPE/iX commands by preceding the command name

with an exclamation point (!). The command will execute, and return

you to the telnet> prompt on completion. For example, you can list

your current group ﬁles on your local system with the LISTF command

as follows:

telnet> !LISTF,2

ACCOUNT = SYS GROUP = ARPA

FILENAME CODE -----------LOGICAL RECORD-----------

SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT

BLDPARMS 80B FA 22 22

FTP NMPRG 128W FB 985 985

FTPDOC 80B FA 234 204800

TELNET NMPRG 128W FB 2104 2104

TELNTDOC 80B FA 43 43

[RETURNING TO REMOTE]

From within the Telnet/iX Client, you cannot change groups. To list ﬁles

in other than the current group, include the group name in the LISTF

command. For example:

telnet> !LISTF @.group1

You can also run programs, such as an editor, from the Telnet/iX Client.

Upon exiting the program, you are returned to the telnet> prompt, if

you did not originally have a remote connection.

You can also issue MPE/iX commands while connected to a remote host.

Type

[CTRL]-] to get the Telnet prompt, and issue the command

preceded by the exclamation point (!) as above.
