Command Structure

  • Utility, Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, etc .....
    • ex: A7,D,35,4
  • Commands can have different amounts of parameters or none at all
    • If a utility is used by itself, a comma needs to follow it to indicate end of command, a comma is not needed after the last parameter
  • Commands are issued to a specific director / slice
    • user chooses director / slice by logging into it (clicking on the desired director / emulation)
  • Highlighting a single hex block output and pressing F8 will translate the output to a readable output

Tips

  • To track Inlines commands used as well as save an output of work completed with errors, the session can be logged
    • Default folder for the log is in the symmwin folder

  • Some Inline utilities have a help screen, to access the help screen add 'HELP' or AAAA to the end of the command

    When using non-hex characters in commands they must be enclosed in quotes

    • Example: A7,AAAA or A7,'HELP'
  • Exit Inlines with the door or File > Exit
