     LINK prompts you if any fields are missing or invalid or if the
     line does not end with a semicolon (;). The fields that follow the
     LINK prompts correspond to the command-line fields.
 
     LINK Prompt                     Field
 
     Object Modules [.OBJ]:          <objfiles>
     Run File [basename.EXE]:        <exefile>
     List File [NUL.MAP]:            <mapfile>
     Libraries [.LIB]:               <libraries>
     Definitions File [NUL.DEF]:     <deffile>
 
     Defaults are displayed in square brackets. LINK assumes a default
     response for any blank field except <objfiles>. If you specify a
     filename without an extension, LINK adds a default extension. To
     specify a filename without an extension, enter a period (.) after
     the filename. To select default responses for all remaining
     prompts, enter a semicolon in the field.
 
     To extend a long <objfiles> or <libraries> response to a new line,
     type a plus sign (+) as the last character on the current line.
     When the same prompt appears on a new line, you can continue. Do
     not split a filename across lines.
 
     Options can be entered anywhere in any field.
     See: LINK Options List
          Using LINK Options
 
     You can specify a response file in any prompt field. The response
     file can supply input for one or more consecutive fields or all
     remaining fields.
