XEQ Command The XEQ (EXECUTE) command invokes another program from within the
EDIT program. Currently, the only program that can be invoked with the
XEQ command is EDIT VS.
What to Enter XEQ VS [ line-range ]
VS
is the partial file name of the screen editor program. See “How to Use
XEQ.”
line-range
references one or more contiguous lines in an EDIT file. Turn to “Line-
Range Parameter” in Section 5 for a full explanation of this range.
How to Use XEQ The full file name of the EDIT VS program is $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.VS. When
you give the command to start VS, EDIT searches your current
volume.subvolume for a file named VS. If EDIT finds a file named VS in
your current volume.subvolume , it assumes that file is the EDIT VS
program and attempts to run it. Therefore:
NEVER name a file VS.
When EDIT does not find a file named VS in your current
volume.subvolume , it searches $SYSTEM.SYSTEM, finds a file named VS,
and runs the EDIT VS program.
