The @ command executes a GDE command file. Use the @ command to execute GDE commands stored in a text file.

The format of the @ command is:

    
            
    @file-specification
    
    
    
         

The file-specification specifies the command file to execute. GDE provides the default file extension ".COM" in creating the file-specification.

GDE executes each line of the command file as if it were entered at the terminal.

Example:

    GDE> @standard
    

This command transfers the GDE input to STANDARD.COM in the current default directory. STANDARD.COM should contain GDE commands; comments should start with an exclamation mark (!).
