2 Using SeeShell Menus
SeeView provides a ready-made, standard shell called SeeShell that allows you to
work with files, display information, and run programs concurrently. You can display
information and access programs on any of the terminal pages provided by SeeView.
You can run many programs within the SeeShell, including:
•
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL)
•
File Utility Program (FUP)
•
Peripheral Utility Program (PUP)
•
Backup and Restore
•
System Control Facility (SCF)
•
Peruse
•
PSMail
•
SQL Conversational Interface (SQLCI)
SeeShell lets you invoke, through menu selection, other shells containing user-defined
menus and procedures written in the SeeView scripting language. This section
explains how to use these standard SeeShell menus:
Each of the first three menus, System Devices, System Utility, and SeeView Extras, is
covered in a separate subsection. The last three items, Network SeeNet, Site SeeLocl,
and User SeeCstm, are discussed in the subsection Custom Shells. These last three
customized menus will appear differently on your system.
The illustration for each example in this section shows what the terminal screen
displays under the conditions described. In the screen illustrations, a box (representing
the cursor) to the left of a menu item indicates that the item is selected.
Note. For help on most menus or menu items in the SeeShell, select the desired menu or
menu item and press Shift-Return.
