Prompted Mode

Prompted mode is now called interactive mode in this guide. Interactive mode works the same way as the old prompted mode with a few exceptions:

  • No command line switches. The -p (one page at a time) and -t (output to screen and file) switches are gone. You can look at output one page at a time by running the Batch Facility from an X-window and using the scrollbars. You can direct output to a file while in interactive mode by using the UNIX tee command. For example, the command:

statisticsb| tee myoutput.txt

allows you to get output on both screen and in the a file.

  • Obsolete commands. HELP and HOST are not available.
