- FLAG jumps
-
- One of the more interesting hypertext features of Hyplus is the
- flag setting jump such as ............. <flag: a=1>.
-
- When such a jump is selected, the program opens the file FLAG.TXT,
- adds the text "A=1" to the end of the file, then closes the file.
-
- For example, try each of these jumps in order:
-
- Add text to flag file ......... <flag: MaxThink>
- Add numeric values ............ <flag: b=3>
- Display the files ............. <flag.txt>
- Erase the flag.txt file ....... <dos del flag.txt>
-
- This jump transfers choices made in a hypertext system such as a
- multiple choice test to a file read by other programs ... or
-
- Form-fill hypertext
- From a catalog of thousands of forms, you could create a
- system that rapidly flags selections. Then using a DOS call
- jump, a program reading the FLAT.TXT file could automatically
- complete and print each desired form.
