 Multi Mente 2.0 [RETURN] and [GRAPH] commandlist manual.



========================================================================



There are two methods to execute commands with [RETURN]. The first one 

is to let MM look at the extension of the file that is run. This works

as follows:



    <.???> TAB or SPACE <command[option]> TAB or SPACE [;rem]

      ^                        ^                        ^

      |                        |                        + comment

      |                        |

      |                        + Command with options or several

      |                          seperated commands

      + Extension



E.g.:



.ARC UNARC $C$K       ; Show ARC files

.ARJ UNARJ L $C$K     ; Show ARJ files

.ANS ANSIVIEW $C$K    ; Show ANSI-picture

.BAS BASIC $C         ; Go to BASIC with .BAS-file in $C

.LDR BASIC $C         ;          ,,       .LDR    ,,

.BAT $C$K             ; Start .BAT-file and return to MM after a key-

                        stroke



       Wildcards may be used in the extension (which always begins with  

a dot) and for the use of '$+letter' the possibilities are listed below.



       Comment should always be preceded by a ';'.



       When you press return on e.g. MODEM.BAS, it will be executed in   

basic. 



       The space between .ARC and UNARC equals a space in the command- 

line, and therefore should not be there, but when you use an automatical 

TAB as seperator, this won't happen.



------------------------------------------------------------------------



       The second possibility in the MMRET.DAT file is to let MM look at 

a complete filename (when pressing return on it), this works as follows: 



    <:command> TAB or SPACE <command[option]> TAB or SPACE [;rem]

        ^                       ^                            ^

        |                       |                         commentaar.

        |                       |

        |                       + command with options or

        |                         several seperated commands.

        + filename 



B.v.:



:AUTOEXEC.BAT $V  ; At the top, to start all .BAT files except AUTOEXEC

:CHKDSK.COM $X/F  ; This way chkdsk /f is executed.



       Such a filename should be preceded with a ':' and when now e.g. 

return is pressed on AUTOEXEC.BAT, MM will start the internal viewer  

with this file ($V). In this way you avoid executing an unknown AUTOEXEC 

and in stead of executing it, you view it first.



       When you place ".BAT $C$K" somewhere further in the file, other

.BAT files will be executed normally.



       When you press return on CHKDSK.COM, now CHKDSK.COM will be put   

in the commandline with /F and then will be executed in that way. 



       Comment should always be preceded by a ';'.



       The MMRET.DAT file should always be reachable for Multi-Mente, 

see environment itmes in the MM205_E.DOC file.



       The MMRET.DAT-file may be changed in anyway you like and can be  

used immediately in MM. 



       The two different methods may be used next to each other. 



       The MMRET.DAT file in the package contains already a lot of  

commands. Look at them carefully, and adapt them to your needs.



========================================================================



       The [GRAPH]key-file is called when pressing [GRAPH]... 



       When pressing this key, a window will be popped up, filled with  

the texts you put in the MMM*.DAT files after a "'" character. These

text should be put behind the commands, as is described below:



   ?)<command[option]> TAB or SPACE ['comment] [;rem]

   ^         ^                           ^        ^

   |         |                           |        + Comment.

   |         |                           |

   |         |                           + This appears in the window

   |         |

   |         + Command with spaces or several seperated commands

   |                                                      

   + The short-cut key.



       The short-cut key is the key with which you can start a command  

or program. The options of MM (like using selected files) can also be  

used here with the macro's ($x).



       The commands (see 5 below) may exist of more than one DOS

command. Here the DOS 2.4 separator is used, DOS 2.2 uses '|',

followed by options.

 

       The text shown in the window has to be preceded by a "'". The  

text itself can be 32 characters long.



       After that text, you can add some comment, preceded by a ';'.  

Here follows a sample from such a MMM*.DAT file.



0)'** MENU 1                  **;Text for menu     Comment

1)TT A:\MM\MACRO.HLP /M0  'MM $? for Macros       ;SHOWS $? FOR MACRO

2)DV                      'Diskview 2             ;STAAT IN ALIAS

3)BASIC                                           ;GO TO BASIC

4)TED $C                  'Ted Edit + file        ;START TED WITH FILE

5)CHKDSK /F ^IMPROVE      'Improve           ;START VIA CHKDSK IMPROVE

6)ALIAS /P $K             'Show aliases           ;SHOW ALIASES

7)SET /P $K               'Show DOS Set           ;SHOW DOS SETTINGS



       The file in the package is almost full, and therefore contains  

a lot of examples how to create your own version.



       The MMM*.DAT file should always be reachable by Multi-Mente.

See environment items in the MM205_E.DOC file.



       Everything that is changed in the file can be used directly   

with Multi-Mente.



------------------------------------------------------------------------

       This is a list of the '$+letter' codes MM works with:

------------------------------------------------------------------------



       $A      The drive given by the user

       $F      Filename input on the commandline.

       $C      Filenaam of the marked file

       $X      As previous, but without extension

       $D      Current drive.

       $d      Temporary drive (from TEMP)

       $J      Execute the program in Kanji-Mode

       $K      Wait for a keystroke before returning to MM

       $O      Contents of the environment item SHELL

       $P      Current Path.

       $R      Put a RETURN in the commmandline

       $T      Filenames of the selected files (one by one)

       $t      Same as previous, but without extension

       $M      Filenames of the selected files (behind each other)

       $m      Same as previous, but without extension

       $V      Show file, with internal viewer

       $$      Put a single '$' in the commandline

       $Z      Extract file, dependant on the extension
