-
- The SCRIPT command lets you execute "script files", which are
- files of True BASIC commands. Like DOS batch files, they let you
- package a sequence of commands into a file, and then execute
- these commands by simply typing the script file's name.
-
- True BASIC will begin to read lines from this file, and execute
- them as if you'd typed them from the keyboard. The script
- file must be a text file.
-
- You can also "plug in" arguments to script files. This lets you
- create dummy variables which are later filled in with actual values.
