COMMAND FILES
Command files are text files that contain emulator commands. Command files are useful for automating tasks
such as transferring files, logging on, and defining keyboard configurations. However, command files are not
limited to these functions. Chapter 8 (Command File Programming) covers more advanced programming topics.
A command file executes each emulator command in sequence. Emulator command files execute from:

7.3.1 Specifying a Command File
Prefixing a filename with an at symbol (@) tells the emulator to expect a command file. If the filename does
not include an extension, the emulator automatically appends .ECF to the filename.
The default filename extension of .ECF may be overridden by specifying an extension with the command file
name. A command file name can also include a path specification.
Command files can be executed using a search path. Click on Setup - General - Directories to set the command
file default directory (search path).
