DESCRIPTION: This command is used to view or create configuration files (scripts)
which the NetBootLoader can execute during the boot process.
Up to 11 separate single-line configuration files may be defined for
automatic use during booting: nbl0.cfg to nbl9.cfg and net.cfg
In addition, any single-line file may be created with this command for
whatever purpose. Such files may also be executed with the EXE
command.
If the command is issued with a valid filename and no other options,
the contents of the file are echoed to the console.
No editing support beyond basic support from the command
interpreter (CTL-x and CTL-a) is provided. As the file can only consist
of one line, entering “RETURN” will invoke the command using the
previously entered text.
