Parameters
Action
pword l password
p password
Password log onto paging terminal. Must do this command first 
when ZlinkW-ing to paging terminal. Done automatically when 
ZlinkW is run from ZbaseW.
The p option changes password. Must be done after logging on. 
The correct way to change your password is to Edit Locations, 
ZbaseW will then automatically issue this command, otherwise 
ZbaseW will become confused.
q (or quit or “.”) Quit ZlinkW. The ESC key will do this also.
^R (Hold down CTRL key and press R key) Resets ZlinkW, thus will 
cancel a put or get command that is in progress.
reboot Reboot the paging terminal. Stops all paging activity! It will be 
several minutes until the paging terminal is taking pages again!
rename 
(or ren)
old_spec new_spec The rename will change the name of a file or files. The original 
name or names is given by old_spec, which may include a path 
and may have wildcards in the filename in order to specify more 
than one file. The new name is given by new_spec, as any path is 
ignored just the new filename need be given. If the source and 
destination names do not differ then an error message will be 
displayed and no files will be affected.
After all files are processed the total number of files affected will 
be printed.

filespec options
-l

-t
Case-insensitive search for a string through specified file(s). 
Filespec can contain wildcards; if no filespec is given, searches 
current log file.
Stop searching the current file after the first match is found. Each 
of the remaining files in the list is searched. This switch only 
affects searching within a file.
Do a case sensitive comparison, where uppercase and lowercase 
letters do not match.
Just print the total number of matches found in each file. Do not 
list the actual lines containing the matches.
