BUILD
Build a text file from standard input
BUILD
&replstart;path&replend;
Description
This command is used to build short text files by copying the
standard input path into the file specified by
&replstart;path&replend;. BUILD creates a file according to the pathlist parameter,
then displays a "?"
prompt to request an input line. Each line entered is written to
the output path (file). Entering a line consisting of a carriage
return only causes BUILD to terminate.
Example:
build small_file
build /p (copies keyboard to printer)
The standard input path may also be redirected to a file. Below is
an example:
build <mytext /T2 (copies file "mytext" to terminal T2)
OS9: build newfile

OS9: list newfile
