Methods of calling ACTIVE NODES
===============================
PC-Hypertext supports THREE (3) different ways of calling DOS routines or
other programs. These methods are:
Filename method -- If you embed a DOS call such as <DIR> in either network
or ASCII files, the program executes the DIR command.
Similarly, you could include calls to <BASICA> or other
programs. See DOS CALLS <file13>
An interesting use of this feature is in organizing the
software to accomplish tasks into separate procedures or
sequences of software. Use a ASCII file to describe the
overall task, then list each of your software tools needed
to accomplish this task. See <file18> for a procedure
file.
Word processor method -- Press Alt-E to load your word processor with the
current file. Select the OPTION command to define the word
processor and calling sequence. Use # or @ to indicate the
current filename in the loading process for your word
processor. See <guide5> for usage details.
GOTO command -- The GOTO command is the most powerful command in
PC-Hypertext. See also <file2>. For example:
NODE JUMPS
==========
G 12 Enter Jumps to node 2
G 1 Enter Jumps to the top node of any network file
G 0 Enter Jumps to the start of a hypertext system
CURSOR JUMPS
============
G 12 3 Enter Jumps to node 12, cursor on topic 3
FILE JUMPS
==========
G filename Jumps to the specified file (ASCII, graphic)
G netfile 3 2 Jumps to another network, node, and topic
DOS CALLS
=========
G DIR Jumps to DOS
G DIR; PAUSE Compound jump to DOS
G BATCH.BAT Jumps to a DOS batch file
PROGRAM CALLS
=============
G Max Jumps to MaxThink
G HOU Jumps to Houdini program
G BASIC /s:512 Jumps to BASIC
