Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Shortnames (Boolean)
 
     The Shortnames switch determines if currently loaded files can be
     accessed by their short names (base name only).
 
     Syntax
 
     Shortnames:{ yes | no }
 
     yes    You can switch to a file currently loaded into PWB by
            specifying only the base name to Openfile («openfile»)
            and Setfile («setfile»).
 
     no     You must specify the extension as well as the base name
            to switch to a file.
