What is the "line continuation" character for the execute script file? I would appreciate if some one could help me on that. I looked all over the place and couldn't find it. My blink command is getting bigger and bigger to accomodate all .o files. I tried to use several lines witout any line-continuation character, doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance.

Re: .0 >What is the "line continuation" character for the execute script file? There isn't one, really. A + followed by newline is sort of a line continuation, but the command gets the embedded newline (but not the plus sign) as part of the command. Some programs might freak at this. The primary use for the + continuation is to have RUN run several commands in a different CLI: run cd sys: + dir Gets you a directory listing of sys:. Both the CD and DIR command are executed in the same CLI process created by the RUN command. >My blink command is getting bigger and bigger to accommodate all .o files. There is a hard and fast limit of 254 characters in a CLI command. You can not exceed that limit. The solution to big blink command lines is blink "with" command files. Sorry. | |||||
