Could someone please give a brief outline of using 'ED' commands to create and save Amiga script files? We are trying to create a file to auto-boot, that will change the prompt character, make a ram disk, and load in ABASIC. We have the list of Ed commands but not the procedure to use them. Thanks! Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

See several files in DL7 here that give the ED commands. Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

There is also a write-up on DL7 on the CLI commands which you use to write script command files. -ldm- Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

You want to edit the file in s/startup-sequence… type 'ed s/startup-sequence'… or to create a new file, just type 'ed "new-file-name"'… only put one command perline… make sure type 'stack 8000' before booting ABasiC or it will crash on you… if you create a file not called 'startup-sequence' you'll have to call it with 'execute "new-file-name"'… -bob-
