Chapter 1 Introduction What Has Changed? MPE XL is much like MPE V/E. You can continue to use most of the MPE V features and commands. However, you may wish to take advantage of the many new, exciting features of MPE XL. Running programs and applications has become more flexible. New features have been added that give users more power than ever before. You can now do such things as change your prompt character to any character(s) you want, by using system variables. Programmers will like the new expression evaluation capabilities, too. If you create user defined commands (UDCs), you will appreciate the UDC enhancements and a new kind of user command called command files. Many of the changes to MPE V/E are documented in appendixes A and B at the end of the book. Appendix A, "MPE XL Commands Status," lists the MPE V/E commands that are not supported, have been enhanced, or are new in MPE XL. Appendix B, "Utilities," documents new, modified, and unchanged MPE V/E utilities. For more detailed information about anything in the reference charts, refer to the manuals listed in the preface.
