DosPlus adds additional commands to the Amiga's CLI. Add the
following files to the `c' directory of your WorkBench disk,
they will be available from CLI at anytime. The desciptions
listed below are expressed in terms of parameters `passed' and
values `returned'. Square brackets `[]' mark optional
information, a vertical bar `|' represents any ONE of several
choices allowed. Execute commands from CLI ONLY by entering
command name and the parameter[s] as shown. Entering just
the command will list the `Usage' template giving additional
guidelines.
1) LOCK v1.2 6) COL v1.1
2) UNLOCK v1.2 7) PREF v1.1
3) AREACODE v1.4 8) FIXED v1.4
4) TIMER v1.5 9) AUTONOTE v1.1
5) PRINT v1.1
The original author offers these programs as `ShareWare'.

b) Entering optional amount in cents per minute of
