7 ;;; I am making the VICTORY PROGRAMMER ENVIRONMENT (VPE) software package
8 ;;; available to M (Mumps) users under the following conditions:
9 ;;; o VPE may be distributed freely without charge.
10 ;;; o VPE may not be sold, licensed, or a fee charged for its use.
11 ;;; o Any other use, distribution, or representation of VPE is expressly
12 ;;; forbidden without the written consent of David J. Bolduc.
13 ;;; DAVID J. BOLDUC
14 ;;;
15 ;;; Welcome to the VPE VShell. This M Shell is designed for people who work in
16 ;;; programmer mode. It will provide an environment that is safer than normal
17 ;;; programmer mode, and will help you organize your work and reduce the
18 ;;; keystrokes required to accomplish your tasks.
19 ;;;
20 ;;; You enter the VShell with the command 'X ^%ZVEMS'. You exit by entering any
21 ;;; of the following: '^,H,h,HALT,halt'.
22 ;;;
23 ;;; To allow you to distinguish between the VShell and normal programmer mode,
24 ;;; the ">" prompt is replaced with ">>".
25 ;;; >X ^%ZVEMS
26 ;;; >>
27 ;;;
28 ;;; When you first enter the VShell you'll be asked for an ID number. This number
29 ;;; will be your permanent identification number. Any QWIK commands you develop
30 ;;; will be stored using this number. If you enter the VShell with an incorrect
31 ;;; ID number, you will not have access to your QWIKs.
32 ;;;
33 ;;; If you enter the VShell from a UCI that contains the VA KERNEL routine ^XUP,
34 ;;; your ID will be saved with your DUZ and you won't have to enter it again.
35 ;;; If you enter from a UCI that doesn't contain ^XUP, your ID won't be stored
36 ;;; and you will need to enter it each time.
37 ;;;
38 ;;; ** THINGS TO GET USED TO **
39 ;;;
40 ;;; Different M systems handle the user partition differently. Some systems note
41 ;;; the routine that is in the partition, execute your code, and then restore the
42 ;;; routine to your partition. Because of this, you cannot ZLoad a routine and
43 ;;; call your editor on one line, and then ZSave it on another line. It may no
44 ;;; longer be in the partition. When doing things of this nature, all steps must
45 ;;; be placed on ONE line of code.
46 ;;;
47 ;;; Ex: ZL ROUTINE X ^% ZS <-- All steps on one line of code.
48 ;;;
49 ;;; You can have similar problems if you try to enter lines of code at the '>>'
50 ;;; prompt to make a new routine. A System QWIK called RTN is provided for
51 ;;; starting a new routine. See SYSTEM QWIK help text.
