INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the various AmigaDOS, and its commands. The Command Line Interpreter
(CLI) reads AmigaDOS commands typed into a CLI window and translates them into actions performed
by the computer. In this sense, the CLI is similar to more "traditional" computer interfaces: you type in
commands and the interface displays text in return.
Because the Workbench interface i* sufficient and friendly for most users the Workbench diskettes are
shipped with the CLI interface "disabled". To use the commands in this manual you must "enable" the
CLI interface. This puts a new icon, labeled "cli" on your Workbench. When you have selected and
opened this icon, a CLI window becomes available, and you can use it to issue text commands directly to
AmigaDOS.
How To Enable the Command Line Interface
Boot your computer using the Kickstart and Workbench diskettes. Open the diskette icon. Open the
"Preferences" tool. Near the left hand side of the screen, about two-thirds of the way down you will
notice "CLI" with a button for "ON" and a button "OFF". Select the "ON" button. Select either
"Save" or "Use" (lower right part of the Preferences screen) to leave Preferences.
How to Open a CLI Window
To use the CLI commands, you open a CLI window. Open the "System" drawer. The CLI icon (a cube
containing "1>") should now be visible. Open it.
Using The CLI
To use the CLI interface select the CLI window and type the desired CLI commands. The CLI
window(s) may be sized and moved just like most others. To close the CLI window, type "ENDCLI".
WORKBENCH and CLI, Their Relationship and Differences
Type "DIR" to display a list of files (and directories) in the current disk directory. This is a list of files
that makes up your workbench. You may notice that there are more files in this directory than there are
icons on the Workbench. Workbench only displays file "X" if that file has an associated "X.info" file.
Workbench uses the ".info" file to manipulate the icon.
For example, the diskcopy program has two files. The file "DiskCopy contains the program and
"Diskcopy.info" contains the Workbench information about it. In the case of painting data files like
"mount.pic" the file "mount.pic.info" contains icon information and the name of the program (default)
that should process it (GraphiCraft). In this case, when the user "opens" the data file (mount.pic)
Workbench runs the program and passes the data file name (mount.pic) to it.
AmigaDOS sub-directories correspond to Workbench drawers. Random access block devices such as
disks (DFO:) correspond to the diskette icons you have seen.
Not all programs or commands can be run under both Workbench and the CLI environment. None of
the CLI commands described in chapter 2 of this manual can be run from workbench. For example,
there are two separate Diskcopy commands. The one in the :c/ directory is run from AmigaDOS (CLI).
The one in the system directory (drawer) is run from Workbench.
