Appendix A: Command line options77Appendix A: Command line optionsLaurel has several command line options that can be specified when you invoke it from the AltoExecutive.Mail file selectionLaurel's default action, triggered when you type>Laurel CRis to perform an implicit Mail file on Active.mail. If you type>Laurel filename CRLaurel will read filename.mail instead. If you supply an explicit extension, Laurel will respect it,otherwise it will add the .mail suffix.In-box interrogationYou can also request that Laurel access your in-box automatically when it begins execution.Type>Laurel/n CR or>Laurel/n filename CRLaurel will first perform an implicit Mail file on the indicated or defaulted file (see above). Itthen will check to see if messages are present in your in-box. If so, Laurel performs an implicitNew mail command. Upon the completion of the New mail command (if performed), Laurel isavailable for normal use.You may also invoke Laurel by>Laurel/c CR or>Laurel/c filename CRIf messages are present in your in-box, Laurel will behave as though "/n" were specified. If nonew mail exists, Laurel will omit the implicit Mail file and return directly to the Alto Executive.A fine point: if Laurel is unable to contact your in-box(es), it returns to the Alto Executive. Laurel will not returnto the Alto Executive, however, if there is no password on your disk. In this case it will allow you to log in with theUser command and continue to run Laurel.Send message modeIf you merely want to send a message, you may request that Laurel omit its implicit Mail filewhen it begins execution. Type>Laurel/s CRInstead of reading a mail file, Laurel will perform an implicit New form as it starts up. You maythen compose and deliver your message in the usual way. If, after doing so, you wish to processa mail file, simply invoke Mail file and supply a file name as described in section 3.1.3.AfpX!Ff g^q gZCpF gXx gSr gPzp0]MXs gK>ptp]HXrps gFprpH gD7' g?r g<8pT g:n]7X sFp]6X rps g3gp tp4 g1F g/tp&tp g. g*]'X sFp]&,X rps g#pY g!tp+ g sg gh gus$ gr g9p5t gnp]X s g2p'tp g g7) g tp6~ g U=]LAUREL MANUAL78 $fpspXs gfp g_ g^ < TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMAN TIMESROMAN  TIMESROMANj/  laurel6-a.bravoBrotzJuly 22, 1981 5:40 PM
