Your mail is stored here, and this is where›files that you upload to DELPHI are initially stored, as well as files that you›transfer from other Internet sites. The commands available to manage your›workspace files are basically those of the underlying VMS operating system. You›don't normally see a menu while you are in your workspace, but you can produce›one by typing a question mark at the WS prompt. You can also type Help to get›into the help system, or Other to see a list of additional commands having to do›with file transfers.› › Command Effect› › Append newfile oldfile Add a copy of a file (newfile) to the end of an› existing one (oldfile). Use this only for text› files, not binary files.› › Catalog or Cat Display a list of all the files in your workspace.› This is the same as the Directory command.› › Copy oldfile newfile Create a copy of an existing file (oldfile) named› newfile. If there was already a file by that name,› a new one is created with the next higher version› number.› › Count filename Returns the number of words in filename, along› with a couple of other pieces of information.› › Create [filename] Use this to create a file in your workspace, and› edit it. This very simple editor is best used for› short files, such as email distribution lists.› › Delete filename Delete a file or a group of files that matches a› wildcard description. You are asked to confirm› each deletion, unless you include the /Noconfirm› qualifier after the command. You can include a› version number (del note.txt;3) or just end the› filename with a semicolon to delete the most› recent version (del note.txt;). Email messages› should be deleted from the email area; folders are› automatically deleted when all the messages they› contain are deleted.› › Directory or Dir Same as Catalog.› › Download [filename] Copy a file from your workspace to your computer.› If you don't enter a filename, you are prompted› for one. If the protocol you are using supports› multiple file transfers, you can use wildcards to› identify the group of files to transfer (down› *.txt for example).› › Edit filename Use this to edit a text file.› › Fix filename Strips the 8th bit off any binary characters. This› is used when a text file has some stray 8-bit› characters in it. Text files with 8-bit characters› cannot be emailed properly through Internet mail› at present; files arrive encoded by the MIME› mailer. Microsoft Word, in particular, may not› save text files correctly, preserving "smart› quotes" in the text. If you find mail arriving› encoded at the other end, use the fix command› before mailing the text file.› › List filename Use this to read a text file.› › Protect filename Tags filename as a protected file, so that it› cannot be deleted without first Unprotecting it.› › Publish Same as Submit. See Submit.› › Purge [filename] Automatically deletes all but the most recent› version of filename in your workspace. If you do› not provide a filename, then Purge deletes all but› the most recent version of all files in your› workspace.› › Rename oldfile newfile Change the name of oldfile to newfile.› › Submit Initiates the process by which you can upload› files to a group database, in order to make them› available to other DELPHI members. If you enter› this command from your workspace, the file will be› uploaded to the group from which you came to the› workspace. You can also enter this command from› the group database.› › Type filename Same as List.› › Unprotect filename Removes the protection tag from a file, so that› you can delete it. Your mail file (Mail.mai) is› the only file in your workspace that is normally› protected, and you should not normally want to› delete this file.› › Upload Copy one or more files from your computer to your› workspace on DELPHI.› ›WORKSPACE FILE TRANSFER DOWNLOAD AND UPLOAD)COMMANDS› DELPHI supports a variety of download and upload protocols. If you have›specified a default protocol in your Settings, then that protocol is›automatically used when you type download or upload at the WS> prompt. You can›also type Dow Menu or Up Menu to choose from the following list of supported›protocols.› › Command Effect› › Buffer Capture Sends or receives 7-bit files, terminating with a› delay, a control Z and a bell› › RT Buffer Capture Sends or receives 7-bit files with control R and› control T marking the start and finish of the file› transfer› › Xmodem Sends or receives using xmodem.› › WXmodem Sends or receives using WXmodem.› › Kermit Sends or receives using Kermit› › Ymodem Sends or receives using ymodem (also known as 1K› xmodem.)› › Ymodem Batch The YB command starts a download or upload of a series› of files.› › Zmodem Sends or receives using zmodem.› › You can also specify a download or upload protocol by typing one of the›following commands, rather than simply download or upload.› › Download Command Upload Command Transfer Protocol› › XDOWNLOAD XUPLOAD XMODEM› › WXDOWNLOAD WXUPLOAD Windowed XMODEM› › KDOWNLOAD KUPLOAD Kermit› › YDOWNLOAD YUPLOAD YMODEM› › YBDOWNLOAD YBUPLOAD YMODEM Batch› › ZDOWNLOAD ZUPLOAD ZMODEM›.›
