ENTER Key
The ENTER key is used to execute an implied command. The
command that takes effect when ENTER is pressed depends
on which fi le or folder is highlighted. There are three implied
commands:
Change drive: To change drives, press F1. A list of available
drives is shown. Highlight the drive you want to select and press
ENTER. The letter of the current drive is displayed on the fi rst
status line.
Change folder: To change folders, highlight the desired name
and press ENTER. The path (drive and folder) of the current
folder is shown on the fi rst status line.
Run a program or batch fi le: To run a program or batch fi le,
highlight the desired fi lename and press ENTER.
FileScout prompts you to enter any parameters that the program
may need on the second status line.
If the program does not require any parameters, press ENTER
again.
If you need to enter program parameters, type the parameters as
you would at the DOS prompt then press ENTER.
You can enter up to 10 parameters or a maximum of 80
characters.
Press Esc if you want to abort the execution of the program or
batch fi le.
