Special Command Tags
Overview
Special command file tags (enclosed in square brackets) are used to modify paths and
filenames for specific I/O uses in ProvideX. They may include a series of semicolon-
separated parameters to be processed at run time. Some of these tags are supported only
in specific operating environments.
Important: The square brackets enclosing special tags are part of the syntax. Other
square brackets in syntax examples indicate that elements are optional.
This chapter covers the following special command tags:
Windows & WindX.
Windows & WindX.
Windows & WindX.
Windows only.
Any system except DOS
Windows, some UNIX/Linux.
Windows & WindX.
Any system except DOS
Any system except DOS
Note: [WDX] specialty commands can only be used when running under WindX. You can
also prefix some (but not all) of the other specialty command tags with a [WDX] tag to
direct the action to the WindX client machine instead of the server.
WindX, the ProvideX thin-client GUI screen handler, is used to give a Windows GUI
look to character-based applications, optimize a network's use of different platforms,
and provide remote processing through serial and/or TCP/IP communications.
