YOU REQUESTED MY HELP - HERE IT IS !!!
 
;
;	FLXIBM COMMAND SYNTAX
;
 
The general format obeys the standard syntactical rules for all
IAS/RSX utility commands.
Six switches can be applied to FLXIBM command strings :
		 LI,FU,DE,RS,HE,IN,IB
 
;
;	USAGE OF THE HE-SWITCH
;

This switch is implemented to allow the display of this HELP - file
with FLXIBM. No file specifiers are allowed.
 
VALID EXAMPLES:
 
	FBM /HE
 
;
;	USAGE OF THE IN-SWITCH
;
 
This switch is implemented to allow you to reformat a floppy, which
is highly fragmented because of many delete/write functions.
You must be careful in initializing a FLOPPY, because disk resident
data will be completely destroyed. After the initialization process
the FLOPPY has the standard 3741 initial directory.
 
However, the floppy is setup with a file "DATA", which occupies the
whole floppy space. In order to free this space you must issue
the following command:
 
	FBM DXU:DATA/DE
 
which makes the FLOPPY now available for use.
 
FORMAT:		FBM DXUU:/IN
	
;
;	USAGE OF THE LI-SWITCH
;
 
This switch is needed to list information about the IBM-files on a
specified flexible disk.
	
FORMAT :	FBM DXUU:IBMFSP/LI
	
where UU denotes the floppy unit and can be omitted for unit 0,
      IBMFSP is a IBM  filespecifier and can also be omitted
	
VALID EXAMPLES :
	
	FBM DX:/LI
	FBM DX10:/LI
	FBM DX05:DUMMY/LI
;
;	USAGE OF THE FU-SWITCH
;
 
This switch is used in the same way as the above described LI switch
only with the difference that more information about the files on
the IBM floppy is provided.All directory seqments are printed out  
(including sectors with deleted data mark), as well as BOE, EOE, EOD.
 
FORMAT:		FBM DXUU/FU
 
;
;	USAGE OF THE DE-SWITCH
;
 
With this switch you can delete a single specified IBM file on a
specified IBM floppy.
	
FORMAT :	FBM DXUU:RSXFSP/DE
	
where UU denotes the floppy unit and can be omitted for unit 0,
      RSXFSP is a RSX filespecifier specifying an IBM file which
      has to consist of a filename at least; everything else
      (UIC,extension,version number) is ignored.
	
VALID EXAMPLES :
	
	FBM DX:[123,456]RUBBISH.IBM/DE has the same effect as
	FBM DX:RUBBISH/DE
;
;	USAGE OF THE IB-SWITCH
;
 
This switch is used to specify an IBM file in a transfer operation.
Since there are two transfer directions two formats are valid :
	
		FBM RSXFSP=DXUU:IBMFSP/IB  for reading an IBM file and
		FBM DXUU:IBMFSP/IB=RSXFSP  for writing an IBM file
	
where RSXFSP stands for an RSX filespecifier which can be omitted
      (in this case SY:IBMFILE.DAT is default) and
      IBMFSP denotes an IBM file (only filename must be present).
	
VALID EXAMPLES :
	
	FBM SY:[123,456]DESTINATION.DST=DX1:IBMSOURCE/IB
	FBM DX:IBMDEST/IB=RSXFILES
;
;	USAGE OF THE RS-SWITCH
;
 
This switch is used to specify a RSX file in a transfer operation.
Since there are two transfer directions two formats are valid :
	
		FBM RSXFSP/RS=DXUU:IBMFSP  for reading an IBM file and
		FBM DXUU:IBMFSP=RSXFSP/RS  for writing an IBM file
	
where RSXFSP stands for an RSX filespecifier which can be omitted
      (in this case SY:IBMFILE.DAT is default) and
      IBMFSP denotes an IBM file (only filename must be present).
	
VALID EXAMPLES :
	
	FBM SY:[123,456]DESTINATION.DST/RS=DX1:IBMSOURCE
	FBM DX:IBMDEST=RSXFILE/RS
;
;	GENERAL RESTRICTIONS
;
(1)	Wildcards are not allowed
(2)	Filenames are truncated to 8 characters if more typed in
(3)	Unit numbers are truncated to 2 chars if more typed in
