command that lists the file names in the user’s default volume on the Tandem
host. After

files

has been executed, the user is left at the TACL prompt.

When x6530 is finished with the command file, it proceeds interactively. When the
-exec option is used, the command file is kept after x6530 reads it. When the -dexec
option is used, the command file is deleted after it is read.

x6530 Custom

Commands Menu

The Custom Commands menu is created to run Guardian 90 programs. The
instructions for this menu are put in a file named .x6530rc that must be in a user’s
home directory on the workstation where x6530 resides.

After .x6530rc is created, the Custom Commands menu is ready to use. The use of the
menu is described in Section 1, “Using the x6530 Emulator.”

The .x6530rc file contains options in the following format:

"

menu-item"

[

]

>

TACL˚command

!

Guardian˚90˚program

"

menu-item"

is the word or words listed as an item in the custom menu. The

menu-item

must

be surrounded by double quotation marks.

>

TACL command

specifies a TACL command to execute. Any TACL command, with its appropriate
options, can be put here. Anything displayed by the command (unless it is an
explicit or implicit RUN command with the WINDOW option) appears in the
x6530 window from which it was executed. A user must have a TACL prompt in
the x6530 window when selecting this type of menu item from the custom menu.

!

Guardian˚90 program

specifies a Guardian 90 program to execute. This is similar to the preceding option
except that a new x6530 window is created to display the output of the program.
This option requires two additional lines in the .x6530rc file so another x6530
window can be started:

USER

logon-ID

PASSWORD

password

The

logon-ID

and

password

are information needed to log on to the Tandem

host.
