9.6;cmdf (command_file) *DM*, revision 8.0, 87/09/23
CMDF (COMMAND_FILE) -- Execute DM script
usage:  cmdf pathname [option]


FORMAT

  CMDF pathname [option]


  CMDF  directs  the  Display  Manager to read commands from a file (DM script).
  When it reaches the end of the  file,  the  cursor  returns  to  its  previous
  location.

  Command files may be nested; i.e., CMDF may be used within another DM script.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)          Specify  name  of  file  to  be executed.  DM commands may
                     appear one per line, or several per line, each delimited by
                     semicolons.


OPTIONS

  -p                  The  -p  option  specifies  that  the  command  file to be
                     executed is a paste buffer.  The DM can execute commands in
                     a paste buffer faster than it can execute the same commands
                     in an ordinary file.
