Edit Access ....Edits the Access rights for the named directories and |
files. |
CName arg1 arg2 ....Changes the Name of 'arg1' to 'arg2'. The arguments can |
be files or directories. |
LD ....The List Directory command has several arguments that |
allow for controlled listing format and selection of entries. |
Attach arg ....allows you to Attach to the directory 'arg' with the |
access rights specified in the directory Access Control List. |
DOWN <arg> ....allows you to go 'DOWN into' a sub-ufd (directory). You |
can specify which one of several sub-ufds to descend into |
with the optional 'arg'. |
UP <arg> ....allows you to go 'UP into' a higher ufd (directory). You |
can specify which one of several to climb into with the |
optional 'arg'. |
WHERE ....Displays what the current directory attach point is and |
your access rights. |
CREATE arg ....CREATES a new sub-directory as specified by 'arg'. |
COPY arg1 arg2 ....COPIES the file or directory specified by 'arg1' into a |
file by the same name specified by 'arg2'. Both 'arg1' and |
'arg2' can be filename with the SPOOL command, whose format |
is: |
SPOOL filename -AT destination |
where filename is the name of the file you want printed, and |
destination is the name of the printer where you want the |
file printed. For example if you want the file 'HACK.FTN' |
printed at the destination 'LIB' type: |
SPOOL HACK.FTN -AT LIB |
PRIMOS then gives you some information telling you that the file named was |
SPOOLed and the length of the file in PRIMOS records. To see the entries in |
the SPOOL queue, type: |
SPOOL -LIST |
PRIMOS then lists out all the files waiting to be printed on the printers on |
your login system. Also included in this information will be the filename of |
the files waiting to print, the login account name of the user who SPOOLed the |
file, the time that the file was SPOOLed, the size of the file in PRIMOS |
records, and the printer name where the file is to print. |
Changing The Password Of An Account: |
------------------------------------ |
If you wish to change the password to your newly acquired account you must use |
the 'CPW' command (Change PassWord). To do this enter the current password on |
the command line followed by RETURN. PRIMOS will then prompt you for your |
desired NEW password and then ask you to confirm your NEW password. To change |
your password of 'JOE' to 'SCHMOE' then type: |
OK, (system) |
CPW JOE (you) |
New Password? (system) |
You can save a copy of your terminal session by using the COMO (COMmand |
Output) command. When you type: |
COMO filename |
Everything which is typed or displayed on your terminal is saved (recorded) |
into the filename on the command line (filename). If a file by the same name |
exists, then that file will be REPLACED with NO WARNING GIVEN! When you have |
finished doing whatever it was you wanted a hardcopy of, you type: |
COMO -End |
which will stop recording your session and will close the COMO file. You can |
now print the COMO file using the SPOOL command as stated earlier. |
Conclusion: |
----------- |
This concludes this first file on PRIMOS. Please remember this file is |
written primarily for beginners, and some of the text may have seemed BORING! |
However, this filewaswrittenin a verbose fashion to FULLYINTRODUCEPRIMOS |
to beginners. Part II will deal with more the several languages on PRIMOS and |
some other commands. |
