[Coco] OS/9 Command to gain keyboard control from script

[Stephen H. Fischer]

It took my mind some time to come up where to look for the answer, and then a very short time to find it. 

------------------------------ 
*save.s 89/11/24
t
archive /d1/SOURCES/LISTM -a <>>>/1
------------------------------ 

I use *.s for ShellPlus scripts I write. The "t" command just echoes back to the screen what the script is doing. I add that to all my scripts.

archive is my own program to move files between folders, it was written for moving new / changed  files on a RAM disk to a real floppy which is what this script does. 

As to where this is documented, I have not found it yet and it may not be clearly stated there. Again, "<>>>/1" on the end of the line is the magic.

Sorry for the delay, it has been two decades plus since I last used it. I have copies in most "C" source folders.

As I have said before, the second answer is clear for the OS-9 boot disks I created, NitrOS-9, YMMV.
