The SETDEF Command
Syntax: SETDEF {d:{,d:{,d:{,d:}}}} {TEMPORARY=d:] | [ORDER = (typ {,typ})]}
SETDEF [DISPLAY | NO DISPLAY]
SETDEF [PAGE | NO PAGE]
Explanation: The SETDEF command lets you display or define the disk search order,
the temporary drive, and the filetype search order. The SETDEF definitions
affect only the loading of programs and/or execution of SUBMIT
(SUB) files. The SETDEF command also lets you turn on/off the DISPLAY
and PAGE modes for the system. When DISPLAY mode is on, the system
displays the location and name of programs loaded or SUB files executed.
When PAGE mode is on, CP/M 3 utilities stop after displaying one full
screen of information. Press any key to continue the display.
The system usually searches the specified drive or the default drive for
files. The user can use the SETDEF command, to extend the search for
program files and submit files, for execution purposes only.
Note: A CP/M 3 program file has a filetype of COM. A file containing
commands to be executed by SUBMIT has a filetype of SUB.
