How
to
Run a Program
Files that have a
"DOC" extension are text files, rather than
programs.
To
examine the contents
of
a DOC file named INDEX.DOC
on Drive
C:
of
the Corvus disk, type D:TYPE INDEX.DOC and press
<RETURN>. The contents
of
the file will scroll up the screen.
To
stop
at any point,
hold the control key down and press S
«CNTL>S).
To
restart, hold the control key down and press Q
«CNTL>Q).
If you
wish
to
return
to
the main CP/M program, hold down the control key
and press
C
«CNTL>C).
CP/M finds files by filename. Each file also has a three-letter
extension. For
example, "COM" indicates that the file
is
a command
program
(also known
as
a "system program") that you can run.
See
Appendix A
of
this guide for a list of the different types of extensions.
It
is
not necessary to type the extension for COM files.
