Is there a limit to which DOS commands you can perform from TCL or are all fair game?



I know about the 'PERFORM' command within a program.  I couldn't find much in my manuals or Tech Bullitens or in the Knowledge Base that really says anything one way or the other.  You can do a straight DIR and a couple other commands from TCL but are there otheres or only selected ones.  If just selected ones where might I find that information?



Thanks,

Michael Slack

<QUOTE>EDIT VOC DIR



see that the first line is PC



LIST VOC WITH F1=PC"



see all DOS commands you can issue



add new voc entries with PC as line one, add new DOS commands.

<QUOTE>By enterin 'PC' and a DOS command at the TCL prompt, you can execute a single DOS command. Essentially the same as PCPERFORM.



You can also shell out to DOS by typing 'PC' at the TCL prompt.  This will execute "Command.Com" and leave  you with a DOS prompt at your current Rev directory.  You can 'CD' anywhere.  "EXIT" will bring you back to TCL after restoring your working directory (RevF had a problem with this).  If you do a PERFORM PC from a prompt that allows it, you'll return to the calling point.



You can do any DOS command desired - from executing a batch file, play a game,  or erase your disk.  (WIN, though, is not recommended!).



If you do a certain DOS command a lot, you can always set up a VOC record for it.  I added CHKDSK by with a simple 

             COPY VOC DIR TO:CHKDSK

since all it wants is "PCPERFORM" in F1.  This is RevG methodology - yours may differ a bit.
