/*********************************************************
NPWAIT is unsupported FREEWARE. Use, modify, and distribute freely.
Put this command in your CONFIG.SYS at a point when you
want to have an opportunity to go to a full-screen command
line prompt.
Usage:
CALL=[path]NPWAIT.EXE [-cCOMMAND] [-wWAIT_TIME] [-r]
simple example:
CALL=C:\OS2UTIL\NPWAIT.EXE
optional switches:
-cCOMMAND Tells NPWAIT what command to run if a key is hit.
Usually, you would want it to run CMD.EXE, but you
can use this switch to tell it the right drive and path.
If you use something other than CMD.EXE, do not
attempt to pass arguments to the program you run.
default value = C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
example: -cE:\OS2CMDS\CMD.EXE
-wWAIT_TIME Tells NPWAIT how long to count down, in seconds.
default value = 10
example: -w20
-r Tells NPWAIT to resume countdown when you exit the
COMMAND shell CMD.EXE.
default value = Do not resume countdown, exit NPWAIT immediately.
FULL EXAMPLE:
The following command will run wait 20 seconds, and run
the program D:\OS2\CMD.EXE if a key is pressed. When the user
types EXIT at the command line, it will continue on with its
countdown until it reaches 0. Then it will continue with
CONFIG.SYS.
CALL=C:\OS2UTIL\NPWAIT.EXE -cD:\OS2\CMD.EXE -w20 -r
