     CTTY                                          CTTY



     Name
          ctty  - changes the tty (device) from which you  issue  com-
          mands


     Syntax
          ctty device


     Comments
          The device parameter specifies the device from which you are
          giving  commands  to  MS-DOS.  The ctty command is useful if
          you want to change the device on which you are working.   In
          this  command,  the  letters tty represent the console; that
          is, your keyboard.


     Examples
          The following command moves all command  I/O  (input/output)
          from the current device (the console) to an AUX port such as
          another terminal:

               ctty aux

          The next command moves I/O back to the console:

               ctty con


     Notes
          There are many programs that do not use  MS-DOS  for  input,
          output,  or  either.   These programs send input directly to
          the hardware on your computer.   The  ctty  command  has  no
          effect  on these programs; it affects only programs that use
          MS-DOS.

          ctty is an internal command.
