Purpose: | Display the command dialogs |
Format: | TCDIALOG command |
command | The dialog for the command to execute |
See also: Command Dialogs.
Usage:
Most of the file commands (i.e., COPY, DEL, DIR, MOVE, REN, etc.) have an associated dialog that will interactively build the command line for you, without requiring you to memorize switches and the order of options. You can invoke those dialogs with TCDIALOG, with the /= command line option, or with Alt-F2 at the command line.
If command does not have an associated dialog, TCDIALOG returns a usage error.
For example, to display the dialog for COPY:
tcdialog copy

The "Ranges" button displays another dialog that allows you to select ranges; the Attributes button allows you to select file attributes.
The internal commands that have a command dialog are:
