The
/K:filename
option tells the command processor to run the specified
filename and then display the ROM-DOS command prompt. It is not
recommended that this option be used in a
CONFIG.SYS SHELL=
statement.
The
/P
switch causes
COMMAND
not to exit, or in other words, to remain
permanent. The
/P
switch should be used only when command is used in a
CONFIG.SYS SHELL
statement.
The
/c string
switch causes
COMMAND
to execute the command in
string
and then terminate. The string command can be any internal or
external command.
The
/MSG
option indicates that all error messages should be stored in memory.
This option is recommended only for diskette based systems. ROM-DOS
keeps many of its error messages in the resident part of
COMMAND.COM
rather
than using valuable memory to store them. If an error message is needed and
ROM-DOS has been loaded from a diskette, the message will only be available
if the boot disk is still in the drive. By using the
/MSG
option, the messages will
be available in memory at all times. The
/P
option must be used along with
the
/MSG
option.
Examples
The following command will cause a new copy of
COMMAND
to be executed. It
will perform a
DIR
command on the
C
drive and then exit back to the previous
Command Processor.
COMMAND /C DIR C:
The following example shows loading of a permanent copy of command with
an environment size of 256 bytes.
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:256
DELTREE
Type
External
Purpose
The
DELTREE
command deletes files and subdirectories including empty
subdirectories.
