TextFile

**
** These are short explanations of the sample .vshrc
**
vshmode select
	(Put VSH in select mode)
quitchar [
	(<ESC> is the quit character)
pagechar `
	(<SP> is the page character)
entertext display
	(Enter text with the pager rather than the editor)
helpfile ""
	(No help menu - Note help menus are not compatible with multicolumned
		directory displays, also '?' is normally bound to
		"display /usr/new/lib/vsh/genhelp" and can of course be changed)
column 10
	(Put as many columns of file in the display as possible)
window 11
	(VSH file window occupies 11 lines)
enterpath :/usr/spool:/src:~
	(search path for entering files is . /usr/spool /src $HOME)
? display /usr/new/lib/vsh/genhelp.dan
	(Since we changing many commands here, provide a new help file)
= pexec ls -C $
	(= executes ls)
; xecute
	(; for a shell command, ;; to redraw display immediately upon return)
% exec /bin/csh
	(subshell to the Cshell)
# exec ;su root vsh -
/ file
	(/ to enter arbitrary pathname, often to chdir())
@ exec ;rm -r $
	(@ to delete an entry, dangerous but faster than R for single files)
& xecute ;cc -O -c $ &
	(C compile in background)
( exec ;pack $
) exec ;unpack $
	(Hoffmann encode/decode files, note VSH knows about pcat)
~ file
	(same as /, but faster for ~~user)
` file .
	(clears a selection)
, pexec sh -c ??Command:
	pexec arbitrary command. Like doing: command | more, but internal to VSH
: exec ;chmod "??New mode:" $
	Change the mode of a file pointed to. The new mode is prompted for.
A exec ;adb $
	(note beginning ';' means return to VSH display immediately after exit)
B pexec od $
F pexec df
H home
	(like cd)
I pexec tar tvf $
J pexec nroff -ms $
K exec ;notes -i *.*
P pexec ps -la
Q pexec du $
T pexec tail -19 $
U exec ;su
V chain vsh -
	(If you change .vshrc, this command will also update your current VSH)
W pexec who
X exec $
u pexec uustat
v exec ;vi $
	(since entertext is display, this is to use the screen editor)
w exec ;mail
x pexec size $
y pexec file $
z exec ;jove $
