MPE V to MPE XL: Getting Started

Lesson 1:  Implied RUN 

The MPE XL operating system allows you to run a program without
specifying the RUN command.  This is called the implied RUN feature.


Implied RUN has not replaced the RUN command--it is just a useful
shortcut for invoking programs.

Exercises

     Like SORT, the QUERY program is in PUB.SYS)

     a.  MPE V/E:

     b.  MPE XL:

2.   On your computer, run the QUERY program using the implied RUN
     feature.  What did you enter to do this?  (Exit the program by
     entering EXIT.)


NOTE  The answers to the exercises are at the end of chapter 2.
