- How PC-Hypertext calls other programs
- =====================================
-
- PC-Hypertext supports angle-bracket jumps to both static and active nodes.
- For a definition of these terms, I mean:
-
- Static nodes ASCII, Houdini, ColorTx, PC-Paintbrush. See <file11>
- ============
-
- Active nodes Program calls to DOS/other programs. See also <file12>
- ============
-
- You might try the following examples which show several types of angle-bracket
- jumps to DOS or other programs. See <file13> for more information.
-
- DOS CALLS <dir> -- Displays the directory of the current drive
- ========= <chkdsk c:> -- Runs the DOS CHKDSK command. See <file13>
-
- Program calls <basica> -- Jumps to BASIC
- ============= <max> -- Run the MaxThink program
-
- Compound calls <cd \volks;vx> -- Runs sequences of program calls. In
- ============== this example, I first change directories, then call my
- word processor.
-
- The angle brackets that define such calls must be on one line. However,
- our ASCII file format allows you to put up to 255 characters on a line.
- Finally, remember to separate each DOS command or program call with a
- semicolon.
