Commands

--------

The file system must be logically mounted and assigned a logical device name before use.

This is done with the MOUNT command.

The following commands are availables:

* @               Executes a command file

* ASSIGN          Associates a logical device name with a device

* CD              Changes or displays the current working drive and directory

* COPY            Copies files

* CREATE          Creates a file with a specific name and size

* DEASSIGN        Removes logical device name assignments

* DELETE          Removes files from a volume

* DIR             Lists file directories

* DISMOUNT        Disassociates a logical disk assignment from a file

* DUMP            Prints formatted data dumps of files or devices

* EXAMINE         Examines disk structure

* EXIT            Exit the shell

* HELP            Displays commands help

* INITIALIZE      Writes an empty device directory on the specified volume

* MOUNT           Assigns a logical disk unit to a file

* PWD             Displays the current working drive and directory

* SHELL           Executes a system shell command

* SHOW            Displays the volume assignment

* TYPE            Outputs files to the terminal
