E.g. Edit, Print, Rename, Delete, Move, etc. the logical name SWING$EDIT if defined will be the command used to invoke the editor. TPU is the default, if you defined TPUSECINI to be USR:EDTPLUS you will be using the same TPU. the logical name SWING$PRINT, if defined, will be the command used to print the file, for example, you can define it to be PRINT/QUEUE=TALARIS/FORM=R610P (which can be abbrivated to L80 on the system ASL1) DCL commands under the OPTION command - allows you to do some DCL commands (non-interactively, for example, you can not invoke the editor, read mail or use phone, but this can be achieved from the SPAWN out of TPU) T for top, and B for bottom commands allow you to go to the bottom of you directory tree quickly, and back to TOP. /START qualifier is added so you can start swing from a subdirectory. old info follows, SWING displays the current directory tree on a CRT screen for interactive tree manipulation. It is able to do the following: o SET DEFAULT by moving from node to node with the arrow keys and exiting SWING when the current node is the directory desired. o Rename a subdirectory. o Interactively create a new subdirectory. o Interactively move a subdirectory structure to a new position, with all of its children. o Interactively delete a tree structure - each node blinks and then disappears as it is deleted. This graphically does what the DELTREE type command procedures do. o Create hardcopy of the current directory structure. o Create a "binary save file" so the whole directory doesn't have to be searched each time SWING is used. The SWING program is written entirely in FORTRAN and replaces a lot of worn out command procedures that have been written over the years. It allows the user to quickly examine and manipulate a directory structure, saving time for the real work at hand. The screen manipulation is handled by the SMG routines and all eight directory levels are supported. The screen is switched between 80 and 132 columns as the directory tree changes size. The display scrolls up and down for long directory trees and commands are either entered by hitting keys or by a pulldown menu at the top of the screen. There is help while in SWING and a help file is furnished for the VMS HELP library as well. You have to try SWING to believe it. It is proof that computers can be easy to use! -- Portia Shao UUCP -- {allegra|ihnp4}!scgvaxd!engvax!portia Hughes Aircraft Co.
