annoying.
^. will toggle ALL console output on and off, allowing SUB files to execute without
outputting anything to the console.
; will indicate that the line is a comment, and it will be printed on the console, but not
executed.
;; will indicate that all characters following until the next line feed are comments, and will
not be displayed.
$ followed by a digit 1-9 will cause the corresponding command line parameter (or default) to be
substituted when the command is executed. This works exactly as for SUBMIT.
$$ will give a $. This is required if your SUB file must contain a $ character, so EX14 does not
confuse it with a command line parameter. The Digital Research MAC assembler is an example of when
this is required, since all assembly parameters must be preceded by a $. This works exactly as for
SUBMIT.
$^ will give ^.
$| will give |.
A control-C from the console at any time will cause EX14 to abort.
In addition to executing SUB files, EX14 may be run by simply typing EX14, in which case it will prompt the
user for the sequence of commands to be executed. This allows a string of commands to be executed
a single time without generating a SUB file.
