command files (scripts)
• command file - a file that contains a single command definition
• features:
• same convenience as UDCs
• searched for after UDCs and built-in commands using the HPPATH variable --
default HPPATH includes “logon group, PUB.logon account, PUB.SYS,
ARPA.SYS”
• require read or eXecute access
• easy to modify since file is only in use while it is being executed
• very similar to unix scripts or DOS bat files
