Format: SET COMMAND file-specification The SET COMMAND (abbreviated SE COMMAND) command is used in a startup command file to specify the name of the next startup command file to read. EDT provides a default file type of ".EDT". If the file is not present this command does nothing; otherwise it causes the current command file to be abandoned and the new one to be read in its place.
1 – STARTUP
When EDT starts up, it reads the installation default startup command
file. The name of the file is always EDTSYS. The default name varies
depending on the system, as follows:
Default Name
-----------------
VAX/VMS SYS$LIBRARY:.EDT
RSX-11M & M-PLUS LB:[1,2].EDT
RSTS/E LB:.EDT
When opening the file, EDT combines the name and the default name
together into a complete file specification. On VAX/VMS, therefore, if
the logical name EDTSYS is defined, EDT will read from it rather than
from SYS$LIBRARY:EDTSYS.EDT.
The installation default startup command file should have SET COMMAND
EDTINI at its end, so that the user's initialization file will be read
after the installation default initialization file. If EDTSYS is not
found, EDT will try again using the name EDTINI, so there is no need for
an installation-default initialization file that just contains SET
COMMAND EDTINI.
