X-Hacker.org- Reference Manual for GoldED 2.51 - Norton Guide
[<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
Commandline syntax: GOLDED/GED386/GED2 [options] [keystacking]
Available options:
-? Displays a help screen with all available commandline
options.
-C<configname> Specifies another configuration file than the default
GOLDED.CFG.
-D Disable old configuration keywords. For backward
compatibility, GoldED still supports a number of old
names for some configuration keywords. I recommend that
you use -D sometimes and rename the keywords that are
reported as unknown.
-E<echoid> If specified, GoldED starts directly in the specified
echo, bypassing the arealist screen. See the AREASTART
configuration keyword for more info.
-F Force recompile of most configuration files, but not
all. Does not recompile the .CHS files.
-FF Force complete recompile of all configuration files,
regardless of whether they are up-to-date or not. This
is equivalent to deleting all the *.GE? files.
-H Same as option -?.
-INSTALL[=path] Start the quick install procedure. You should give a
path to your other mail software if it cannot be found
using environment variables or in current directory.
Please see the INSTALL.DOC document for information about
the quick install procedure.
-IMPORTSOUP Calls the SOUP packet import feature during the start-
up phase. This is the same as starting it from the
areascan SOUP Packet->Import menu item. The SOUP import
happens immediately after the regular startup area
scanning (if that is enabled).
-M Mute. Disables all sounds in GoldED.
-N No share. If used, this prevents GoldED from using
SHARE compatible file-open calls, which are used by
default. Works only until the SHAREMODE keyword is used
in GOLDED.CFG. This keyword is normally not useful, but
may be used to debug your setup or something.
-O<ovlsize> Specifies the overlay size for GoldED (the default is
approximately 64K). Higher values (up to about 300K)
causes GoldED to run faster and use more memory. Lower
values (down to about 32K) makes it run slower, but use
less memory. Check the "memory meter" on the right side
of the statusline to see how much memory is free at any
given time. The memory meter value should be *minimum*
50-100k or more for best performance and insurance
against "out of memory" errors. The lower memory meter
value, the higher risk of out of memory errors...
This option is ignored by the 386 and OS/2 versions.
-Q Quiet. Turns off verbose config compile. On by default.
This could be used on the commandline to disable a
-V(erbose) option in the GEDCMD environment variable.
-S<sortspec> Sort all areas according to <sortspec>. See the
AREALISTSORT config keyword for details.
-T<seconds> Set the timeout value. A value of zero (0) means never
timeout. See the TIMEOUT config keyword for details.
-V Turns on verbose config compile. When used, GoldED will
display the full filename of each main config file it
compiles. It also displays the name of the detected
multitasker, if any. This can be useful for debugging
your setup, and see if GoldED accesses the files
(especially the AREAFILE's) it is supposed to.
-VV Same as -V, but also displays all the active lines
while compiling. This could be used to find the exact spot
if it crashes or stops while compiling.
-W If used, GoldED will create (and overwrite if existing)
the file GOLDAREA.INC, which will then contain all areas
in the AREADEF form, sorted by your AREALISTSORT
specification. This is very useful for converting your
AREAFILE's to a form you can edit with your favorite text
editor and use in GoldED. It is also useful if you have
used the new AREADESC keyword or the AREAFILE EchoList
reader. The GOLDAREA.INC file (created in the GOLDPATH)
can be used by adding "INCLUDE GOLDAREA.INC" to your
GOLDED.CFG or GOLDAREA.CFG. When creating the file,
GoldED will use '.' if an aka is the same as the main
aka, and leave out the optional origin if it's the same
as the first ORIGIN in your GOLDED.CFG. This makes it
easier to share the same GOLDAREA.INC between different
setups.
-X Reserved for debugging purposes.
-Y Reserved for debugging purposes.
-Z Reserved for debugging purposes.
Commandline keystacking
Any non-option characters on the commandline are stuffed into the
keyboard buffer. See the chapter on keyboard definition and the
KEYBSTACK keyword for more info.
Example: GOLDED @S A
Makes GoldED go to the area scanning menu <Alt-S>, and select
scanning of <A> all areas.
See the Macros and Keystacking chapter for more info.
