Instead of specifying a drive letter such as F: or G:, you can use an asterisk
followed by a number n to represent the nth network drive (for example, *3).
This allows drive letters to reorder themselves automatically if previous drive
mappings are deleted or added.
Command Format
DRIVE [drive |*n]
Replace drive with a local or network drive letter, or replace n with a drive
number. The use of either is dependent on their already being assigned within
the login script.
Example
Suppose a user will be working on only one project for several days and the
files for that project are located on drive S:. Use the DRIVE command to set
the default drive to S: so that the user doesn’t have to change the default drive
manually after each login.
First, make sure drive S: is mapped to the correct directory in the users login
script. Then enter the following command in the login script:
DRIVE S:
EXIT
Use EXIT to terminate execution of the login script.
IMPORTANT: You cannot use EXIT in a login script to stop the login script and
execute a program. EXIT only terminates the execution of the login script. If you
want to execute a program after exiting the login script, you must use two
commands: “#” on page 67 or “@” on page 68 followed on the next line by EXIT.
FDISPLAY
Use FDISPLAY to show the text of a word processing file when the user logs
in.
To display both the text and the printer and word processing codes of a file, or
to display an ASCII file, see “DISPLAY” on page 71.
When you use FDISPLAY to display a word processing file, the text is filtered
and formatted so that only the text is displayed. FDISPLAY will not display
tabs.
