NBDIR Command Summary
It is a good idea to run NBDIR directly rather than through NBCTRL since only one person can run
NBCTRL at a time. This leaves NBCTRL free to be run by other users. Any user may run NBDIR.
However, some of the commands require special capabilities. See the list of capabilities in the
following Special Command Featuressection.
Any
NBDIR command may be passed via the INFO parameter of MPE's :RUN command. If the INFO
string contains a command, NBDIR will start without printing the program banner, execute the
command and terminate.
To run NBDIR:
1. To run NBDIR from MPE, use the following command:
: RUN NBDIR.PUB.NETBASE
You can also enter NBDIR from NBCTRL using the DIR command as follows:
: RUN NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE
