prefix -- change prefix
|
|
|
|
syntax: prefix <pathname>
|
|
|
|
ex: prefix /disk/dir
|
|
prefix x/y
|
|
prefix %help
|
|
prefix .62blah
|
|
prefix m=
|
|
/mydisk/dir1
|
|
.61
|
|
|
|
Changes the prefix (which is displayed as your prompt in
|
|
Davex). (Typing 'prefix' with no pathname makes your prefix
|
|
empty; this is not usually desirable.)
|
|
|
|
Note that an IMPLIED prefix command is done if you type a
|
|
complete pathname (including one starting with "%" or ".xx"),
|
|
or if a partial pathname is found in your scan list.
|
|
|
|
If a partial pathname is given, it is appended to the
|
|
current prefix. So "prefix letters" when your prefix is
|
|
already "/disk" will make your prefix "/disk/letters".
|
|
|
|
You can also set your prefix just by typing the name of a
|
|
directory. The process is not quite the same--if you type a
|
|
partial pathname, Davex uses your scan list to find the
|
|
directory. It follows the same rules as for launching SYS
|
|
or S16 files, but if it finds a DIR, it just sets your
|
|
prefix.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the first entry in your scan list is "*",
|
|
you can always change to a subdirectory of the current
|
|
directory just by typing the subdirectory's name (unless
|
|
that name is an internal Davex command!).
