Re: Xydos to e-mail



Carl wanted to know about the "wait" command. It's the /w switch after the

Start command (which is a Windows DOS prompt command-line option). The /w
makes the progam invoked by Start finish before going on to any other
command. Here's the fragment from the fax.pgm file:

BX dos/nv/x/z /c start/w "c:\program files\accessories\wordpad"≪pv22≫Q2

S/G 22 is the temp filename set in the program.

I believe the p3 XPL command in the next line of code is superseded by the /w
on the Start command. The pause shouldn't be necessary (and is affected by
clock speed and other things that can cause it to fail anyway). You should
notice that the ernv command doesn't execute till you close WordPad.
