MS-DOS External Commands.
The APPEND Command.
Description:
Allows programs to open data files in specified directories as if they were in the current directory.
Command Syntax:
APPEND [[drive:]path[;...]] [/X[:ON | :OFF]] [/PATH:ON | /PATH:OFF] [/E]
APPEND ;
Explanation of Syntax:
[drive:]path specifies a drive and directory to append.
[/X:ON] applies appended directories to file searches and application execution.
[/X:OFF] applies appended directories only to requests to open files. [/X:OFF] is the default setting.
[/PATH:ON] applies appended directories to file requests that already specify a path. [/PATH:ON] is the default setting.
[/PATH:OFF] turns off the effect of /PATH:ON.
[/E] stores a copy of the appended directory list in an environment variable named APPEND. [/E] may be used only the first time you use APPEND after starting your system.
Type APPEND ; to clear the appended directory list.
Type APPEND without parameters to display the appended directory list.
Command Use:
This command can be used at the command prompt and in batch files.
